Chikorita [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This card comes from Neo Genesis, the first main Neo Series expansion and the first Pokémon TCG set to introduce Generation II Pokémon to the card game, giving Chikorita a true Johto-era debut in English.
Set Lore
Neo Genesis was released in English in both 1st Edition and Unlimited, so a 1st Edition Chikorita carries the iconic early-Wizards stamp from one of the hobby's most nostalgic Johto launches.
In-Game
Chikorita was one of the original three first partner Pokémon available in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, which makes this card instantly resonate with collectors who started their Johto journey with the Grass starter.
Card History
Chikorita has a memorable anime legacy because Ash caught one in "The Chikorita Rescue," and it later evolved into Bayleef while protecting him from Team Rocket.
Artist
The artwork is by Naoyo Kimura, an illustrator especially noted for contributions to the Neo Series and Southern Islands, which makes this soft, storybook-style Chikorita feel perfectly matched to the set's Johto identity.
