# Chikorita (Japanese) #001 — Meganium Constructed Starter Deck

## Summary

Chikorita opens the Meganium Constructed Starter Deck as a plain common, a bulk slot whose pull comes from nostalgia for Johto's leafy starter, not from rarity. Released in Japan in March 2005, the Japanese deck came months ahead of the Unseen Forces Chikorita in English, which arrived in August 2005. The card shows the little green Pokémon with its leaf raised against a pale blue, sparkling backdrop. The modelled guide sits at $2.00 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
