Pokemon Farming: Forum Special: Chikorita

March 10, 2008

Todays pokemon offering is Chikorita, a great starting pokemon from the Johto region. This little weed will eventually evolve into a very formidable "Red Ring of Terror" known as Maganium.

Chikorita/Bayleaf/Maganium have very good defensive stats but only slightly decent attack stats. For this reason, I stuck with producing all with the nature Bold which allows 10% to the Defense stat and reduces the max Attack value by 10%. The below move set is aimed at utilizing the Special Attack so the loss of those extra points will not hinder his effectiveness.

All chikoritas and the subsequent evolutions have the ability Overgrowth. Overgrowth causes a 50% raise in damage caused by Grass moves when the users HP falls to or below 1/3 its max.

Move set

Leech Seed - accuracy 90% 10PP - seeds a fow and then drains 1/16 of their max life every turn.

Protect - accuracy 100% 10PP - Goes first, completely protects from any damage this turn. Accuracy is halved each time this move is used in succession.
Grass Knot - SpA -accuracy 100% 20PP- Hits heavier opponents for more damage, with a max of 120 power.
Ancient Power - SpA - power 60, accuracy 100% 5PP - Rock attack with a 10% chance of raising all stats.

This set will work great as a staller as well as on great big walls. Leech seed the high HP walls and steal 1/16 their life to help revive yourself. Along with leftovers attached which also recovers 1/16, you will be drawing double HP recovery for a total of 1/8+ per turn. Using protect as your second move allows your poke to recover a whopping 1/4+ of its life for free, hopefully replenishing the hit you took to dispense your leech seed.

Once you are set up, the use of Grass Knot will help with the destruction of large walls and help to prevent the switching in of larger pokemon. Grass Knot has a gradient of damage based on the weight of the opponent pokemon, shown below

Below 10 kg: 20 power
10.1 kg - 25 kg: 40 power
25.1 kg - 50 kg: 60 power
50.1 kg - 100 kg: 80 power
100.1 kg - 200 kg: 100 power
200.1 kg and up: 120 power

The final move is to help protect against the weakness of chikorita. The rock move Ancient Power will hit four of its five 2x weakness (Ice, Bug, Flying and Fire) for 2x damage, helping to keep your chikorita/bayleaf/manganium up and running longer.

How to get one:

1. Comment with your Name and Friend Code
2. Get a Pokemon to trade, preferably holding an item. Heartscales and rare candies are much appreciated for future breeding projects.
3. Be in the Wi-Fi zone at 6pm CST (Chicago Time) on March 14th (Friday)
4. Make yourself available to Trade (Invite–>Trade) I will come to you when I’m ready.

I will do my best to stay on as late as I can but it all depends on how many are picked up on time. If you miss out, feel free to post in the forums in either Missed Farming Events or in my farm section, Farmer In the Dell - Chikorita.

I just realized that sounds like I’m being greedy and asking for two Chickorita. I meant going for two as in two of the Johto Starters, XD.

I can only do one to each FC. If you post in the forum either in my farm, Farmer On the Dell - Chikorita, or in the Missed farming seciton, I will do my best to get you an extra one from the event. :)

Comment by riodejanero
2008-03-12 10:09:44

In that case, I’ll have a female if possible. And yes, I’ve also posted on Farmer On the Dell - Chikorita cause my brother really wants one but he doesn’t have Wifi access. Btw, what item is your preference on the pokemon that we will trade?

Yup no problem. Sorry, only had 2 females outta 45 pokes and the one in my group had already gone to someone who had their WiFi go down in the middle of the trade.

Again thanks a lot ! And more power to PokeFarm. Can’t wait to hear about the next farm event.

Hi Trudy,

I am having a rough time connecting to your DS. Is it possible for you to move closer to the WiFi router? I will also open myself up for trade, can you try to connect to me to see if it will work.

I am going on WiFi a bit early. If you see me disappearing, I am dropping off pokes and pick up new ones for trade. So please be patient.

Also, to make it go a bit quicker, please make sure your voice is turned off. Thanks guys for your cooperation! :)
