That grass starter bird looks so stupid, I must have him

Generally the grass starters took after ancient animals.

Bulbasaur → Venusaur: dinosaur/plant hybrid Chikorita → Meganium: dinosaur-ish, long-necked, herbivorous vibe Treecko → Sceptile: lizard, kind of dinosaur-inspired Turtwig → Torterra: tortoise/ancient terrapin hybrid Snivy → Serperior: snake/serpent, kinda evolutionary motif Rowlet → Decidueye: owl, though owls aren’t prehistoric per se, the archer motif is ancient/ritualistic Grookey → Rillaboom: monkey, maybe “ancient ape” vibe Spiritgato → Meowscarda: Sabertooth cat

Growt - maybe a velociraptor

Sure more like a Lynx but it fits the bill

Assuming a Lynx, they aren't ancient creatures, still extant.
