Just how bad is Chikorita for HG/SS?

Nov. 21, 2020

Is it so bad that it isn’t viable in those games, or is it possible to use but just really difficult?

Weak against Faulkner, Bugsy, Pryce, and KogaSTAB attacks resisted by Faulkner, Bugsy, Morty, Jasmine, Clair, Koga, and LanceSTAB attacks super effective against no Gym Leaders or Elite 4Solid defensesOkay HP, attacks, and SpeedLevel up movepool is pretty shallowLearns decent moves like Earthquake, Body Slam, Giga Drain, Energy Ball, Petal Dance, and Poison Powder

Meganium @ Miracle Seed / anything elseAbility: Overgrow- Giga Drain- Earthquake- Strength- Body Slam

Definitely the worst of the three starters. It faces an immediate disadvantage against the first two Gyms, and isn’t super effective against any. It’s definitely useable, simply harder to use than the others. There are better Grass types in the game as well, like Victreebel and Tangrowth.

Hope I helped!
