Chikorita (Japanese: チコリータ Chicorita) is a Grass-type Pokémon. Along with Cyndaquil and Totodile, it is one of the three starter Pokémon available at the beginning of the Generation II games. It is also available in Pokémon Emerald as an award for catching the first 200 Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex.

Chikorita comes with the Ability Overgrow, which increases the power of Grass-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Chikorita evolves into Bayleef starting at Level 16, then into Meganium starting at Level 32.

In the anime

Chikorita was first seen in EP118. It was Casey's starting Pokémon. It evolved into Bayleef in EP161.

Ash captured a Chikorita in EP126. It has such high affections for Ash that comes to a few faults, such as refusing to be switched out for Pikachu. Ash's Chikorita evolved in EP199.
