'''Cuttable plants''' are a type of obstacle appearing in many [[core series]] games, commonly found on grassy [[route]]s and in or around [[forest]]s. To get past them, the {{player}} must use the help of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to cut them down. They appear in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} through {{gen|VI}} and in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], in which they can be cut down using the [[field move]] {{m|Cut}}, and in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], in which they can be cut down using the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down.

In Generations I through {{gen|V}} and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, cuttable plants are small, skinny trees. In Generation VI, they are thorny bushes. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, they are small plants but sprawl widely to obstruct the player.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], trees that had been cut down would regenerate if the game was saved and reset, even if the player was still in the area, allowing the player to {{DL|List of graphical quirks (Generation I)|Standing on a tree|stand on a tree}}. This was fixed in later generations.
