Should I keep Steenee in my team? [closed]

Question

When my Bounsweet evolved into Steenee, she is still grass type and I heard grass types are bad. Is best to keep my Steenee and evolve her, or should I keep Steenee in my box/PC?

Answer 1

Grass types are not very good offensively, true, as grass moves are resisted by seven other types. But they are a core component of many teams because of their unique resistances.

Water types are extremely common and grass-types counter them pretty well. Most of them can also learn ice-type moves, but during an ingame play through, the vast majority of them will not have any.

Grass also has a rare resistance to ground, another common offensive type. Only grass and bug resist ground, and grass can also hit ground-types back super effectively.

Grass-types also have a useful resistance to electric-type moves.

A very popular "core" to build a team around is the fire-water-grass core, as they cover each other's weaknesses well.
