About Chikorita

One of the three starter Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Chikorita uses the leaf on its head to sense temperature and humidity — a perfect companion for exploring the redeveloped districts of Lumiose City. Its gentle nature makes it the calmest starter, while its early-game Grass attacks handle the Fire-type wild Pokémon of Savanna District with ease.
