The best Grass Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: ZA Mega Dimension

We bet you'll love these ground-based teammates, whether it's when you first pick a starter Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: ZA, get one of the beloved starters in another area, or just bond with a good Grass-type Pokemon!

Typing Grass in Pokemon has long been a fan favorite, but with so many unique Grass Pokemon available in Pokemon Legends: ZA between the base game itself and the Hyperspace Lumiose cracks in the Mega Dimension DLC, it would be wise to make finding and training these Pokemon a priority.

It might be a bit of a surprise to see a Pokémon you'd expect to see on our list of the best Ice-types here in our picks for the best Grass Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: ZA (and don't worry, it'll be there too!), but that's part of what makes Abomasnow so great – how trainers sometimes don't see its powerful Grass field coming.

The best catches in every wild zone in Pokémon Legends: ZA

You should probably catch them all, of course, but if you have to focus on one of them…

This double typing on our favorite abominable snow Pokemon will help you in battle even before you have Abomasnow go Mega. While it may be big and slow in terms of speed, it more than makes up for it with sheer firepower when you summon it to the battlefield.

Trevanent

Trevanent's Pokedex entry in Pokemon Legends ZA.

We hope you found this difficult Alpha Pokémon easy to deal with in Wild Zone 13, but if you've managed to capture Trevanent on a mission to stalk and chase you as you explore this area of ​​the Rouge Sector, then you've undoubtedly learned how beneficial a teammate can be.

We don't often get to double-type Grass and Ghost, but it's always interesting to see the different ways The Pokémon Team comes up with experiments. Even if you don't get a Mega Evolution stone to use with your favorite Ghost and Grass hybrid, his base stats are worth grabbing and adding to your grass teams.

  • HP: 95

  • Total: 540

The grass is always ripe for dual typing, but we really love the creativity when it comes to Scovillain, the Spicy Pepper Pokemon that debuted earlier in Generation Nine. It was a fan favorite in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, so we're sure we're not the only ones excited to see it return for the Mega Dimension DLC.

Scovillain is another Pokémon whose attack and special attack stats are the same, and its new mega form keeps this boost spread out evenly to ensure you have the same kind of elemental coverage no matter how you choose to deal damage on the battlefield. We like to think that Fire-type attacks come from the red head, while Grass-types come from the green.

Hoenn starters are a favorite for anyone who once fell in love with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Pokémon, and those Grass-type lovers will be more than pleased to know that Forest Pokémon are making a comeback in the Mega Dimension DLC to rejoin your Pokémon team of adventures.

Pokemon Legends: ZA – List of the strongest Pokemon levels

The strongest Mega Evolutions stake their claim.

This is a special attacker whose stats only improve when you give him Sceptilite and have him use his Mega Evolution on the battlefield, and you'll find that the steep speed stat boost is a huge help as well. While not the strongest of the last evolutions of the starter Pokemon, you get great mileage out of its high Special Attack and Speed ​​stats.

  • HP: 80

  • Attack: 125
  • Defense: 85
  • Sp. Attack: 135
  • Sp. def: 95
  • Speed: 70
  • Total: 590

It's not often on these types of lists of the best types of Pokemon, especially for one of the three base types, that a random Pokemon beats a well-established power and fan-favorite status, but even though Mega Victreebel looks incredibly silly, it has stats worth bragging about.

Victreebel has a good balance in its attack types, and Mega Victreebel sees significant boosts to both its attack and special attack stats when using its Mega Stone. Special attack support is a bit more, but regardless, your Mega Victreebel won't have time to sweep the floor with your opponents in battle.

  • HP: 80
  • Attack: 82
  • Defense: 100
  • Sp. Attack: 83
  • Sp. def: 100
  • Speed: 80
  • Total: 525
  • HP: 80
  • Attack: 92
  • Defense: 115
  • Sp. Attack: 143
  • Sp. def: 115
  • Speed: 80
  • Total: 625

If you went with Chikorita when you first came to Lumiose City to adventure in Pokemon Legends: ZA, then we don't need to convince you of how powerful his final Meganium form can be before you give him his Meganiumite and let him go Mega with the new Mega Evolution added to this Generation Nine title.

His Mega Evolution takes what was once a decent balance between physical and special attack and instead makes you a pure special attacker with your Mega Meganium. Your defense of both variants is also pretty impressive, so you'll hit hard with Mega Meganium and take minimal damage in exchange.

Chesnaught

Mega Chesnaught

  • HP: 88
  • Attack: 107
  • Defense: 122
  • Sp. Attack: 74
  • Sp. def: 75
  • Speed: 64
  • Total: 540
  • HP: 88
  • Attack: 137
  • Defense: 172
  • Sp. Attack: 74
  • Sp. def: 115
  • Speed: 44
  • Total: 640

You'll enjoy a nice dual typing with Chesnaught, the final form of Kalos starter Chespin, who evolves into a Fighting type as well as a Grass typing when he reaches his final evolution at level 36. Like other Kalos starters, Chesnaught was the recipient of a particularly powerful Mega Evolution form in Pokemon Legends: Grass – the best of the game.

Chesnaught has always had strong offensive abilities, but you'll find plenty of good uses for his stunning defense stats as well, especially when he goes Mega and sees one of the highest base defense stats in the entire game. With access to powerful moves like Wood Hammer at higher levels, Chesnaught is something of a must for grass trainers.

Just use something to restore his speed as Chesnaught is not known for being fast.

  • Sp. Attack: 100

  • Total: 525
  • HP: 80
  • Attack: 100
  • Defense: 123
  • Sp. Attack: 122
  • Sp. def: 120
  • Speed: 80
  • Total: 625

Fans of the original Pokemon games may be bringing their love of the final evolution of the original grass starter to Pokemon Legends: ZA, and for good reason – Venusaur and its potential Mega Evolution form are some of the best grass-type Pokemon in the entire game.

He also enjoys dual typing between Grass and Poison, and his already impressive Special Attack and Special Defense stats only skyrocket when you have your Venusaur to go Mega during battle. With top moves for both types, with Grass giving it Solar Beam and Sludge Wave coming from Poison's secondary type, Venusaur is a force to be reckoned with in battle.
