'''Chikorita''' is one of the three starter Pokémon from the second generation games ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal Versions]]'', as well as the remakes ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]''.

=Information=

Chikorita is a small and docile Pokémon that basks in sunlight. The leaf on its head is aromatic and used to check the humidity and temperature in order to seek out warm locations. During battles, it keeps its foes at bay by waving its leaf around and emitting a sweet fragrance that calms the enemy Pokémon and creating a cozier battle atmosphere.

A Chikorita will evolve into [[Bayleef]] at Level 16 and then to [[Meganium]] at Level 32.

==Video Games==

*In the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Chikorita appeared in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as one of the Pokémon that could be conjured at random from the [[Poké Ball]] item. When summoned, Chikorita will attack by using Razor Leaf to toss leaves in one direction before disappearing. A float of Chikorita was also part of the Poké Floats stage in ''Melee''. Chikorita has also been represented by  a trophy in ''Melee'', a trophy and sticker in ''Brawl'' and a Novice-rank Primary [[Spirit]] (with a fire weakness) in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]''. When fought against in a Spirit battle, Chikorita's Spirit would possess [[Ivysaur]] with a higher chance of critical hits and fight in a stage with a slumber-inducing floor.

==Other Media==

*Within the Pokémon anime, Chikorita first appears early in the Johto episodes where it is the starter Pokémon of a young trainer named Casey. The character Vincent is also shown to have a Chikorita as his starter Pokémon, and [[Red#Other Media|Ash Ketchum]] catches his own Chikorita which is known for its high affection for Ash. All of the aforementioned Chikorita eventually evolve.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Chikorita is the last of the three starter Pokémon to get a trainer. It is intended for Crystal but in its stubbornness escapes Elm to find Crystal herself. Chikorita winds up meeting with Crystal, who initially does not want the Chikorita on her team of six until Chikorita was able to prove its worth, at which point she switched away another of her Pokémon for the Chikorita. This Chikorita later evolved into Bayleef while protecting Crystal from a [[Tyranitar]].

=Trivia=

Its name is a combination of on "chicory" (a type of plant) and "-ita"(a Spanish suffix for someone small or young)
