Collector Insights
Chikorita is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It has two attacks: Tackle, which costs one Colorless energy and deals 10 damage, and Deflector, requiring one Grass energy to activate. Deflector grants a defensive effect during the opponent's next turn, halving damage taken by Chikorita and rounding down to the nearest 10. The card’s flavor text describes a Pokémon with a sweet aroma from its leafy head, enjoying sunlight. It belongs to the Neo Genesis set, released in December 2000, and is numbered 53 in the series. The card’s design is attributed to artist Naoyo Kimura, and its theme color aligns with the Grass type’s natural palette. Chikorita’s primary weakness is to Fire attacks, which deal double damage.
A sweet aroma gently wafts from the leaf on its head. It is docile and loves to soak up the sun's rays.
