Official Pokemon Info from Bulbapedia (Content is available under Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5)
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 Pokémon with a darker 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 on 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. Aside from the soothing aroma that wafts from its leaf, Chikorita uses its leaf to determine the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air.
Chikorita can be found in grasslands throughout the Johto region. 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 tends to be docile in nature due to its domestication from birth.

Trivia
Chikorita with its original yellow body on Nintendo's flyer for Gold and Silver from September 1999
- The Chikorita family is the only evolution family of a starter Pokémon to not have their names changed for the English release.
- In the anime, Chikorita has had the most Trainers of the Johto starter Pokémon. It has been trained by Ash, Casey, Vincent, Silver, and Lyra. 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 later changed to light green in later artwork and the Pokémon Crystal sprites.
- The green Pokémon mini was modeled after Chikorita.
- A prototype of Chikorita called Happa resembles a Chikorita without legs.
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).
