In-Depth Analysis

Its Grass typing leaves Chikorita with 5 weaknesses against 4 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Chikorita a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Special Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
