What are Pokemon that benefit from Grassy Terrain in Gen 8 LC?

2 minute read

I want to make a Grassy Terrain team because I like the concept, and I think it could be fun. Which Pokemon are good on such a team? Obviously Grookey is the Terrain setter, so which Pokemon would work well with Grookey? If possible, I would like suggestions for physical attackers, special attackers, hazard setters, backup Terrain setters (I am aware Grookey is far and away the best, but I may need a backup just in case), walls/tanks, and hazard clearers.

Thanks in advance.

Grookey @ Focus SashAbility: Grassy SurgeLevel: 5EVs: 236 Atk / 236 SpeJolly Nature- Grassy Glide- U-turn- Knock Off- Swords Dance

This one is very simple, you start by setting up a Swords Dance or 2 and a focus sash will almost guarantee that you’ll set up atleast one Swords Dance.

Cottonee @ Terrain ExtenderAbility: PranksterLevel: 5EVs: 196 HP / 116 Def / 196 SpDCalm NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Giga Drain- Toxic- Grassy Terrain- Encore

This is the best non-offensive grassy terrain setter.

Clauncher @ Choice ScarfAbility: Mega LauncherLevel: 5EVs: 36 HP / 212 SpA / 244 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Dragon Pulse- Aura Sphere- Water Pulse- Terrain Pulse

I got a little creative with this one and I don’t think it needs explanation.

Treecko @ Grassy SeedAbility: UnburdenLevel: 5EVs: 36 HP / 200 Atk / 236 SpDAdamant Nature- Swords Dance- Acrobatics- Grassy Glide- Drain Punch

I know treecko is supposed to be a special attacker, but it’s special movepool is just sad. Besides, it gets Swords Dance! You’ll have to switch in when grassy terrain is active so that grassy seed would activate which would double treeckos speed.

Gossifleur @ EvioliteAbility: Effect SporeLevel: 5EVs: 196 HP / 196 Atk / 36 Def / 36 SpD / 36 SpeAdamant Nature- Grassy Glide- Rapid Spin- Synthesis- Grassy Terrain

Yet another Pokémon with an atrocious movepool, this is your grassy terrain setter and rapid spinner.

Snover @ EvioliteAbility: SoundproofLevel: 5EVs: 196 HP / 224 Atk / 36 DefAdamant Nature- Grassy Glide- Ice Shard- Double-Edge- Swords Dance

Snover relies mostly on priority moves except when there is a Pokémon that resists both ice and grass.

Final thoughts: I know this tram is almost mono grass but in an lc grassy terrain team, you almost have no Pokémon that properly benifit from grassy terrain that aren’t grass types aside from Clauncher.
