Chikorita (Japanese: チコリータ Chicorita) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

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

Chikorita is a small, pale-green, quadrupedal Pokémon with dark-green buds around its neck. Its head is large in proportion to the rest of its body, and it has big red eyes. Chikorita has four short legs with a single nailed toe on each and a stubby tail. On top of its head is a large, green leaf that is usually longer than its body. A soothing aroma wafts from the leaf, which can calm battling Pokémon. The leaf is also used to sense temperature and humidity. Chikorita actively seeks out and enjoys the sun's warmth.

Chikorita can be found in grasslands. However, due to its status as a starter Pokémon, a wild Chikorita is hard to come by and it is generally found under the ownership of Trainers. Chikorita has a docile nature.

Trivia

 
Chikorita with its original yellow body on Nintendo's flyer for Gold and Silver from September 1999
  • The Chikorita family is the only evolutionary line of a starter Pokémon to not have their names changed for the English release. Thus, they also keep their Japanese voices in the dub of the anime.
  • In the anime, Chikorita have had the most Trainers among the Johto starter Pokémon. One Chikorita has been trained by each of Ash, Casey, Vincent, Silver, Lyra and Horace. However, Ash is the only one who is confirmed to not have received Chikorita as a starter Pokémon.
  • Chikorita is the only starter Pokémon that cannot be used in the Pokémon Jump minigame.
  • In both early artwork and the in-game sprites of Pokémon Gold and Silver, Chikorita's body is yellow. This was changed to light green in later artwork and the Pokémon Crystal sprites.
  • An early demo of Pokémon Gold and Silver in 1997 shows Chikorita's name as Happa (Japanese: ハッパ), which literally means leaf.

Origin

Chikorita has similarities to sauropods. Its shape and appearance also alludes to that of a pear, or a Belgian endive, a type of chicory.

Name origin

Chikorita is a combination of chicory (a flowering plant) and ita (the feminine form of the Spanish suffix for something small or young).
