Yet another Pokemon of dubious notability. This was one was PRODed but dePRODed by a mass dePRODer. PROD was "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline requirement nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) supplementary essay. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." Reception section is tiny, much shorter even than those of recently redirected articles, and consists only of few passing mentions that fail SIGCOV. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:38, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

• Redirect I don't see how this minor Pokemon would be notable. Fails WP:GNG and what little there is of the reception section seems a bit NPOV._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 05:07, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect to List of generation II Pokémon#Chikorita per nom. No significant coverage. Link20XX (talk) 14:03, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect per WP:GNG and WP:POKEMON. The reception section is virtually devoid of meaningful commentary, and much of the rest of the article isn't much more than a laundry list of every appearance its ever made on games and movies. It's wikia material, not Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 03:31, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
• Redirect Agree with the above regarding lack of SIGCOV CiphriusKane (talk) 08:43, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
