WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOUR CHIKORITA HAS ITS LEAF CUT IN HALF

prof-peach:

GOOD QUESTION!

The best thing you can do is leave it. Pun intended.

Your pokemon will be gathering it’s energy to grow a new one soon, after it drops, give it 3-4 days and your Pokémon will be back to normal, with a fully grown new leaf.

The damage happens often in battle and will put your chikorita in a bit of a bad mood normally while it grows back.
