- Oddly, Chimecho's index number is the very last in the Generation III games (excluding glitch Pokémon), even after Deoxys.
Origin
Chimecho is based on a wind chime.
Name origin
Its name is a combination of chime and echo. Its Japanese name is based on ちりん chirin, the Japanese onomatopoeia of a chime and 風鈴 fūrin, wind chime. Its German name alludes to a very popular German comedy-sketch which starts with someone shouting "Palimpalim!" to mimic a doorbell.
