Chingling is a yellow, spherical Pokémon similar to a bell. It has stubby arms and legs, as well as beady, black eyes. On either side of its mouth is a large, black spot. Inside its mouth is a red orb, which creates a ringing sound as the Pokémon moves. Additionally, the orb can be vibrated to create high frequency, long lasting cries to deafen its opponents. The sounds produced can be too high for people to hear. Atop its body is ring-like growth with a striped rope through the middle. The rope is red-and-white with short tassels on the ends.
Three Chingling appeared in The Bells Are Singing! under Francesca's ownership. They formed part of Francesca's magic trick but had trouble keeping them under control. When Team Rocket captured the Chingling, James found himself growing fond of them as he remembered his Chimecho
Chingling is tied with Natu as the shortest Psychic-type Pokémon.
Origin
Chingling is based on a 鈴 Suzu bell, used at Shinto shrines.
Name origin
Chingling may derive from chime and jingling, possibly incorporating youngling, denoting its status as a baby Pokémon.
Lisyan may be a combination of 鈴 rin (bell), りんりん rinrin (onomatopoeia for bell chiming), and しゃんしゃん shanshan (onomatopoeia for bell ringing). It may also be a play on listen.
