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 Grass Energy.
