The Grass type (Japanese: (くさ) Grass) is one of the eleven TCG types. It is represented by the color green, and symbolized by a leaf.

The Grass type contains most Grass- and Bug-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, Sceptile and Beedrill are both Grass types in the TCG.

Prior to the Diamond & Pearl set, the Grass type also contained all Poison-type Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, Muk and Weezing were Grass types in the TCG. Poison-type Pokémon were subsequently assigned to the Psychic type beginning with the Diamond & Pearl set until the Sword & Shield set, when they were then reassigned to Darkness.

The corresponding Basic Energy card is Basic Grass Energy. Where the Grass symbol appears in an attack cost, it indicates that a Grass Energy must be attached to the Pokémon in order for the Pokémon to use that attack.
