In the exciting world of Pokémon, an interesting development has fans buzzing. In the forthcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Chikorita can use the move Disarming Voice, which has stirred a mix of curiosity and surprise as this is a Fairy-type attack the little leaf Pokémon previously couldn’t learn in other games.
Chikorita, originally from the Johto region alongside its starter buddies Cyndaquil and Totodile, has always been known for its distinctive small, green body and the large leaf atop its head. Using its leaf, it attacks with moves like Razor Leaf, and through evolution, it becomes Bayleef and then Meganium, gaining access to more powerful Grass-type moves. Pokémon enthusiasts can find Chikorita in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet by exploring the Coastal Biome after upgrading the Terrarium.
With the news of Chikorita joining Tepig and Totodile as the starters in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, fans are eager to see what new adventures lie ahead. Twitter has been buzzing, particularly after a Pokémon content creator known as HDvee highlighted Chikorita’s new move, Disarming Voice, which was showcased alongside Leafage, Leech Seed, and Razor Leaf. This unusual discovery has prompted speculation, with many fans like HDvee wondering if the game’s inclusion of Mega Evolution means Meganium might receive a Grass and Fairy-type Mega form.
Although the trailer for Pokémon Legends: Z-A didn’t unveil any brand-new Mega forms, it did confirm the return of classics like Charizard and Ampharos. As of now, Chikorita and its evolutions are straightforward Grass types, focusing heavily on defense and supporting teammates, using moves such as Reflect and Light Screen. Its somewhat low stats and predictable moveset haven’t made it the most formidable starter over the years. However, a Mega Meganium with a Fairy secondary type could stir things up, fitting right in with dual-type Pokémon like Whimsicott and Tapu Bulu.
Fans eagerly await the game’s release, slated for late 2025, as The Pokémon Company continues to roll out new content for existing titles such as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and Pokémon Unite. We will have to wait and see what other surprises Pokémon Legends: Z-A will bring.
