The Grass type (Japanese: くさタイプ Grass type) is one of the eighteen types. Notable Trainers who specialize in Grass-type Pokémon are the Gym Leaders Erika of Celadon City, Gardenia of Eterna City, Cilan, former Gym Leader of Striaton City, and Ramos of Coumarine City. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Grass-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack.
