Chikorita's go-to moves include Vine Whip, Grass Knot, Energy Ball, Tackle, and Body Slam.
Since Chikorita is a Grass-type Pokemon, players can use Fire-, Flying-, Poison-, Bug-, or Ice-type Pokemon as counter opponents.
Some of the best counter Pokemon to use against Chikorita include Chandelure, Volcarona, Darmanitan, and Charizard.
However, when using Chikorita, you shouldn't fight against Water-, Grass-, Electric, or Ground-type Pokemon.
Chikorita can evolve into Bayleef, which costs 25 Candy. Players can then use 100 Candy when evolving Bayleef into Meganium.
