• Little Cup:Vine WhipBody SlamGrass Knot

🧸 Little Cup

With respectable bulk and a spammy moveset, Chikorita is quite the threat in the Little League, punishing targets weak to Grass-type moves while also baiting shields to much success. It also beats Obstagoon and Umbreon, but can't beat Deino. Additionally, it also can't beat big shots such as Bronzor, Wooper, Swinub, and Vullaby. So, in a pinch it is a good Pokémon to use, but overall, it's not that strong outside of taking our shields.

Needless to say, Chikorita is too weak for any other PvP platform.

💎 The best PvP moves for Chikorita are Vine Whip, Body Slam and Grass Knot.
