'''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==

*Chikorita appears in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as one of the Pokémon who can be randomly conjured from the [[Pokéball]] item. Chikorita will attack by using Razor Leaf to toss leaves in one direction before disappearing. In both games Chikorita also appears as a trophy, and a sticker of Chikorita is available in ''Brawl''.

==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 protecing Crystal from a [[Tyranitar]].
