Why are always grass types the ones almost never evolve in the anime? Grass is already a weak typing and they cuck ash with their worst form.

it's because grass is the comedy relief type

sceptile and torterra were the exceptions. sceptile won by default, and torterra happened because the writers allowed ash to be competent

Not evolving is better than being stuck in the shitty second stage though. Rowlet is quite prominent in the anime.

In the anime they can, it's just something that happens at random

Compare their movesets:

Rowlet: Tackle, Razor Leaf, Seed Bomb, Brave Bird
Primarina: Bubble Beam, Aqua Jet, Surf

That's evidence enough that Rowlet is the more experienced fighter

Brionne and Primarina have both always been really cute, even if Lana's Brionne didn't evolve it still would've been adorable.
However, matter of fact is Primarina won the protagonist starter evolution race while Rowlet is perma'd and Torracat is still in the air.

Don't forget that unlike other starters, Primarina follows a unconventional evolution line where its final evo stands out as being the cutest one for many fans of its line in Japan.

It was a matter of time. The ones behind the series evolved that shit into Primarina as fast as people would easily ditch male Popplios for female ones.

Anime doesn't work like the games at all, that was the entire point of the 9th episode of the original series

In the anime, pokémon might evolve like in the games, after gaining enough experience (eg: when charmander evolved after defeating a bunch of exeggutors), but most of the time their evolution is triggered by their own determination to become stronger to save somebody or defeat a strong opponent

Brionne needed to be faster to save Lana, so she evolved to become faster

In the anime evolution doesn’t happen at a set point but rather after/during intense battles or dire situations.
An underevo can have tons of experience and even be stronger than its evo.
Basically evolution comes with a boost in power but a well trained underevo can match it.
