While the Mythical Pokémon Shaymin would be at the top of this list for its stats alone, Mythical Pokémon are not easy to get ahold of, and sometimes players need a strong Grass-type attacker quickly. Tangrowth is a fearsome Grass-type Pokémon and can be the base of most Pokémon teams.
Tangrowth
Tangrowth's stats make it a powerhouse in battle. Its special defense stat is a bit low, but it makes up for it by having great attack and defense stats and a fantastic special attack stat of 110. Tangrowth is a sole Grass-type Pokémon and has no 4x weaknesses to any move types.

Other strong Grass Type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Players will have no lack of options for Grass-type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The game's Grass-type starter, Hisuian Decidueye, is a great Pokémon and stands as one of the best Grass-type in the game. Leafeon and Torterra, a starter Pokémon from Generation 4, also have decent stats. Roserade, Abomasnow, and Hisuian Electrode are also decent choices for players who quickly need some Grass-type moves.
Hisuian Decidueye
Hisuian Decidueye is a Fighting and Grass dual-type Pokémon. This typing isn't bad by any means, though it does result in Decidueye having a 4x weakness to Flying-type damage. It does compensate a bit for this by having a great list of resistances and a great attack and special attack stat.
