Strategy Overview
Chikorita possesses decent bulk thanks to its base 65 Defense and Special Defense, making it a good candidate for various roles on a team. Although it might be lacking in the offensive department, being one of the few pure Grass-types in Little Cup has its merits. Despite this, it is almost entirely outclassed by other Grass-types such as Bulbasaur. Chikorita does, however, have the ability to set up dual screens and it has access to Aromatherapy, making it worth using.
