| [[File:Pokemon 152Chikorita.png|left]]Like {{bp|Bulbasaur}} before it, {{bp|Chikorita}} is a Grass-type that is strong against Rock, Ground, and Water-types, and is weak against Fire, Bug, Poison, and Flying types.  Chikorita learns the powerful {{bp|Razor Leaf}} attack at level 8, making it a very strong Pokémon in the early game.  But the problem is that Chikorita doesn't learn any other powerful moves until very high levels. And being Grass-type, it has a lot more Pokémon of its type that you can catch. Chikorita learns Reflect at level 12 which is very useful combined with its high defense. She also learns Poison Powder and synthesis that will be useful. Body Slam and Solar Beam learned at high levels must be maintained.

As there are not many early Grass-types to catch its actually a good option to pick but is generally considered the worst starting choice. It can be taught HMs Cut and Flash and also Strength once it evolves making it a very good utility Pokémon as there are very few that can learn all 3 of these HM moves!

Cyndaquil learns Ember at level 12, and only learns another fire-type move at level 27. Even with a minimal moveset, Cyndaquil is still a good Pokémon and the most recommended starter. His weakness of water-type moves can be negated when Cyndaquil reaches its final form, if you teach it {{bpm|Thunder Punch}}.
