About Chikorita
Chikorita is a Grass-type Pokémon, the Leaf Pokémon (No. 152), introduced in Generation II and native to the Johto region.
In battle, Chikorita waves its leaf around to keep the foe at bay. However, a sweet fragrance also wafts from the leaf, becalming the battling Pokémon and creating a cozy, friendly atmosphere all around.
