>>42928121There's a lot of Ground types like this.
>Nidos in Gen 1, fully evolving extremely early and taking on everything in the earlygame besides Misty, then staying relevant later on via a wide movepool>Geodude in Johto, which takes on most of the first half of the game by itself>Swampert in Hoenn, where there's no Grass specialist, which is its only weakness - also it has really great balanced stats and gets said Ground type before Wattson so you can shit on him>Garchomp, which takes a while to get going but has an amazing stat distribution and Swords Dance access, trivialising endgame battles>Excadrill, an absolute nuke with one of the best level up movepools ever>Krookodile, which is also Dark type and has two great abilities>Mudsdale, even without Stamina since it is bulky and powerful, even before evolution
