Chimecho(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Psychic-type Pokémon that evolves from Chingling via happiness during the night.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Chimecho is a small, round Pokémon with a mainly bluish-white body shaped like a fūrin wind chime. It has beady, yellow eyes and three stubby limbs. Its body has a horizontal amaranth-colored pattern. Underneath its body extends a long, tag-like tail that has amaranth patterning at the bottom. A yellow, globular growth, referred to as a suction cup or a sucker, is connected to the top of its body.
Chimecho can create ultrasonic sound waves and other noises. It uses seven different echoing cries to communicate with others. It is nocturnal and usually lives in grasslands and woods, but some are found in mountainous regions. An omnivorous species, it eats Berries that it plucks with its tail and can knock out large prey using powerful waves of air, which are thought to be created by Chimecho amplifying the faint sound of wind inside its body.

Main games[]
Spin-offs[]
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Chimecho is a member of Wigglytuff's Guild. She makes dinner for the guild each night and runs the Chimecho Assembly for the player's team.
Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: The same Chimecho later returns as a recruitable character and will request the player to make a delivery to Diglett. Upon completion, the pair will connect with the player and will be usable.
In the anime[]
Chimecho debuted in Who's Flying Now?, where James caught it during the Fortree City Feather Carnival. It appeared in the Team Rocket motto right after Jessie's Wobbuffet, and James cherished it so much that he did not allow it to battle. In Sweet Baby James, James left his Chimecho with his Nanny and Pop-Pop to recover from illness at his old vacation home in Saffron City.
In the manga[]
Origin[]
Chimecho appears to be based on Japanese glass wind bells known as fūrin, which are hung around Shinto shrines to predict disasters and ward off evil spirits.
