Read more ↓Chikorita is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, originating from the Johto region. It is the Grass-type starter Pokémon of that generation, beginning a three-stage evolution line that progresses to Bayleef and then to Meganium. Known for its sweet aroma and docile nature, Chikorita uses the leaf on its head to sense humidity and temperature, and to emit a soothing fragrance that calms others. It primarily inhabits forests and grasslands, often seen basking in sunlight. In the anime, Ash Ketchum famously caught a Chikorita, which evolved into Bayleef and was known for its affectionate and somewhat jealous personality. Chikorita symbolizes new beginnings and growth, often depicted as a gentle and nurturing creature. Its role as a starter Pokémon endears it to many players, representing their first companion in the Johto region. Its design, reminiscent of a pear with a large leaf, contributes to its iconic status among early Pokémon designs.
