As perfect pokemon's grass gym leader I have decided to post a guide on the grass monotype. Grass is a good type that is surprisingly easy to cover in a team.
Venusaur: Venusaur is an amazing pokemon this generation as it has recieved a mega evolution. This takes away it's chlorophyll ability but gives it the thick fat ability effectively getting rid of it's fire and ice weaknesses. It is also a very versatile pokemon with plenty of set options. Regular venusaur is amazing in the sun because of it's chlorophyll ability. Venusaurs typing gets rid of the bug weakness that grass types usually have as well so it's a very safe pokemon for a monograss team. Venusaur can also use grassy terrain for more recovery and some extra damage on it's grass attacks.

Vileplume: Vileplume is an exceptional cleric with access to great support moves such as teeter dance,sleep powder,aromatherapy and grassy terrain. Vileplume is also versatile in that it can run a sweeping set with chlorophyll or wall either physical or special attacks. The recovery options on it are also great with moonlight,synthesis and gigadrain.
The typing allows it to take neutral damage on bug attacks which are a threat to monograss teams.

Parasect: Parasect is a great pokemon in the rain. Parasect has amazing cleric options a sub par typing and a great ability in dry skin. With rain going+leftovers you will recover a good amount of hp each turn. I enjoy using parasect in doubles more than in singles because it get's rage powder. You can also make use of it's ability more by pairing it up with a ludicolo and having it use surf to recover parasect's hp by 1/4.

Victreebel: An amazing sun sweeper in both doubles and singles. With access to weatherball gigadrain and sludgebomb it almost has perfect neutral coverage. Growth under the sun boosts spatk and atk by 2 which helps this thing kill almost everything that it hits. Careful with how frail this pokemon is it won't be able to take a lot of hits.
You can also run a mixed set on it with good success too.
