>>44056300The problem then becomes why even have Chikorita at all except as something to steal experience from the rest of the team.
>FalknerPossible since you only need to worry about Gust, but it will be an uphill battle with Pidgeotto unless you're overleveled since it will just Roost off any damage.
>Bugsy4x resists your best moves and hits SE
>WhitneyPossible. Chikorita has some bulk and can set up Reflect and heal with Synthesis.
>MortyGengar laughs off anything you throw at it and hits hard back
>ChuckPossible. It has a type advantage against Poliwrath but lacks any hard hitting Grass STAB to do much back.
>JasminePerhaps, since you resist most of their moves but Magnemite kinda laughs off anything you do.
>Team RocketPoison types everywhere so lol no
>PryceWhile Chikorita can hit SE, it's slow, weak to ice, and lacks powerful grass STAB again. Either hope for good luck or grind.
>Clairlol no
>E4Oh wow, you can beat Bruno fairly decently.
Chikorita is deadweight.
