Chimecho (Japanese: チリーン Chirean) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Chingling when leveled up with high friendship during the night.

Biology

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. It eats Berries that it plucks with its tail.

Trivia

• Chimecho's index number is the very last in the Generation III games (excluding glitch Pokémon, and Unown forms), except in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, in which this trait belongs to Munchlax.

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.

Name origin

Chimecho may be a combination of chime and echo (a repetition of sound).

Chirean may be a combination of ちりんちりん chirinchirin (the sound of a bell chiming) and 風鈴 fūrin (wind chime).
