Hello all you fans of the Pokemon Trading Card Game and casual readers. Today we’ll be looking at three of the best grass type decks from recent Pokemon expansions. Most of these decks were (at one point or another) at the top of their META and use grass type Pokemon as well as those nice green energy that go with them. Without further ado, let’s get into the list.

3. Decidueye GX

Forest of Giant Plants from Ancient Origins, Decidueye GX from Sun & Moon, and Vileplume from Ancient Origins.

The Decidueye deck uses the effects of abilities to hit from the bench and was protected by, what was at the time, impressive HP. This deck was played between 2017 and 2018.
The main card of this deck is, of course, Decidueye GX. This Stage 2 Pokemon has 240 HP and the Feather Arrow ability which allows you to put 20 damage on one of your opponents Pokemon once per turn. This Pokemon also has the Razor Leaf attack, dealing 90 damage for three energy, and Hollow Hunt GX which lets you retrieve three cards from your discard pile with one energy.
The most useful Trainers available have gone into this deck including the Forest of Giant Plants, which probably was banned because of this deck. Other still legal cards include Revitalizer and your standard collection of Professor Sycamore, N, and Ultra Ball.
Pokemon companions for this deck have been Swampert, Alolan Ninetales GX, and of course the irritating Vileplume with its Irritating Pollen ability.

2. Golisopod GX

Golisopod GX from Burning Shadows, Tapu Koko from SMPromo, and Zoroark GX from Shining Legends.

This deck was popular from 2017 to 2019 and employed the tanky Golisopod GX who struck out from the Bench to deal fast damage.
Golisopod GX has 210 HP and the First Impression attack. For one energy, this attack does 30 damage plus 90 more damage if Golisopod was on your Bench and became Active this turn.
Golisopod has been played with the likes of Tapu Koko, Garbodor, Seismitoad EX, and Zoroark GX because due to its minimal requirements, you can use many different cards to support it.
Let’s not forget some Trainer cards that help this deck, such as Guzma and Float Stone.

Float Stone from BREAKthrough and Guzma from Burning Shadows.

1. Lost March

Trumbeak, Natu, and Jumpluff from Lost Thunder.

Unlike its predecessor, Night March, and its follow up, Mad Party, the Lost March deck sends Pokemon to the Lost Zone in order to power up surprisingly fast and powerful attacks.
There are four main Pokemon that make Lost March work. First is Skiploom with the Floral Path to the Sky ability. This ability allows you to search your deck for a Jumpluff and replace it with Skiploom. The Skiploom is sent to the Lost Zone. This effectively puts Skiploom and it’s Basic, Hoppip, into the Lost Zone.
Next is Trumbeak, whose Mountain Pass ability puts it into the Lost Zone and can disrupt your opponent a little.
And the attackers of this deck are Natu and Jumpluff, who both have the Lost March attack. This attack deals 20 damage for each of your Pokemon in the Lost Zone.
In terms of Trainers, let’s not forget Professor Elm’s Lecture, which searches for the low HP Pokemon in this deck and Lost Blender which can put extra cards into the Lost Zone.
