Chikorita (Japanese: チコリータ Chicorita) is a Grass-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Bayleef starting at level 16, which evolves into Meganium starting at level 32.
Along with Cyndaquil and Totodile, Chikorita is one of the three starter Pokémon of Johto available at the beginning of Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver.
Biology
Physiology
Chikorita is a small Pokémon that is primarily pale green in color, with a darker green leaf and necklace of buds. It has a large head in proportion to the rest of its body, with large red eyes that appear to have no pupils. It has four short legs with a single nailed toe each, and a small tail. Its most distinguishing feature is the large leaf on the top of its head, which is usually longer than the rest of its body.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Chikorita can spawn vines from its neck and create leaves from the big leaf on its head. Like many Grass-type Pokémon, its foliage emits a sweet odor that has calming and healing properties. This leaf also has the ability to check the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air.
Behavior
Chikorita, like many Grass-type Pokémon, are very docile. It prefers to avoid fights by using the aromatherapeutic properties of the large leaf on its head. It spends most of its time sunbathing, although it is unclear if this is because it needs to photosynthesize, or if it is because Chikorita is coldblooded and needs to warm itself up. It appears to be sensitive to changes in its environment, and can use the leaf on its head to help purify the air around it, as well as to seek out warm places. Chikorita are also sensitive emotionally, and become very upset when misunderstood.
Habitat
Chikorita are rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains or small forests with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium. They prefer warmer climates. Chikorita are mostly handed out by Professor Elm.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Chikorita spend a lot of time basking in the sun, so they may use photosynthesis to feed themselves.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ash's Chikorita
Ash captured a Chikorita in The Chikorita Rescue. It had such high affections for Ash that sometimes came to a few faults, such as refusing to be switched out for Pikachu. Ash's Chikorita evolved in Current Events.

Casey's Chikorita was first seen in The Double Trouble Header. It was Casey's starter Pokémon. It evolved into a Bayleef in The Bug Stops Here.
Other

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Megaree
In Pokémon Adventures, Chikorita is the last of the three starter Pokémon to get a Trainer (in a similar fashion to Treecko never getting its rightful Trainer until Emerald steals him as a Sceptile, much later than the other two starters had). It escapes from Professor Elm and follows Crystal until she decides to accept it to her team, where it had to pass a test. Crystal's Chikorita wears a star pendant, formerly owned by Smoochum, who accepted Chikorita when its Trainer did. It later evolves into a Bayleef to protect Crys from a Larvitar, then into Meganium during a fight with Lugia along with the other two Johto starters (whose Trainers had been in a coma for weeks from their defeat against the Masked Man). Crys nicknamed it Megaree*/Mega*.
In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga
- Main article: Chiko
In Magical Pokémon Journey, a Chikorita nicknamed Chiko appears.
In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga
A Chikorita was stolen by Kai before PM064 but was returned back to Oak later on.
In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga
Black owned Bayleef as a Chikorita. It was his starter Pokémon when he began his journey in Johto. However, he stole the Chikorita from Professor Elm's lab instead of having Elm give it to him. It evolved into a Bayleef prior to meeting up with Gold again. During an encounter with Lapras, Black released the Bayleef after it failed to defeat Lapras and Gold took Bayleef in.
In the TCG
- Main article: Chikorita (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee
When released from a Poké Ball, Chikorita unleashes a Razor Leaf that hits any opponent in its path.
Chikorita is also a Pokéfloat. It is one of the smallest and floats around Psyduck.
Trophy information
Chikorita was one of the first three Pokémon available in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal. A Grass-type Pokémon, it emits a delightful fragrance from the leaves on its head and loves to spend its time leisurely sunbathing. When called into battle, it uses its Razor Leaf move to strike at opponents' weak points.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Chikorita returns to do the same as it did in Melee, unleashing Razor Leaf on release from a Poké Ball. It swings its leaf around violently until the green blades fly directly in front of it for a few seconds.
Trophy information
"A Leaf Pokémon. It loves sunbathing and can use the leaf on its head to check the temperature and humidity around it. Chikorita releases a sweet aroma from its leaf to becalm opponents into a slumber. It can also learn moves to help recover all Pokémon allies. Chikorita evolves into Bayleef by leveling up."
Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire: When the ball hits the button in front of Chikorita on the Ruby Field, it will unleash a Razor Leaf that causes the two Linoone to pop out.

After Pikachu rescues her, she goes to the Meeting Place where she builds the tree house. She later accompanies Pikachu to the Sky Pavilion along with Piplup and Charmander where she meets Mew.
