'''Chinchou''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チョンチー''' ''Chonchie'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Electric}} Pokémon.


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Lanturn}} starting at [[level]] 27.

==Biology==
==Biology==
Chinchou is a small, round, blue fish-like Pokémon with a pair of tiny white fins and two small blue feet. Chinchou's eyes have unique pupils that are shaped like plus signs. It has two antennae that are positioned on its rear like two tails. There is a yellow teardrop-shaped orb at the end of each antenna. The electricity-generating cells in these antennae create so much electrical power that they even make Chinchou tingle slightly. Chinchou charges up its electric attacks by absorbing energy through its two antennae, and flashes its electric lights to exchange signals with others. Chinchou tends to lurk on the dark {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean floors}}, rarely ever coming up to the surface. However, it does have the ability to walk on land.
Chinchou is a small, {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a round, blue body. It has large yellow eyes with pupils shaped like plus signs, a pair of semi-transparent, light blue {{wp|fish fin|pectoral fins}}, and stubby feet. Positioned on Chinchou's rear, where its tail would be, are a pair of antennae that curve up and over its head. The antennae developed from fins and have yellow, teardrop-shaped orbs at the tips.


==In the anime==
Inside Chinchou's antennae are electricity-generating cells that create so much electrical power that they even make Chinchou tingle slightly. The orbs on its antennae can glow and light up from the electric current, which Chinchou uses to lure prey. It also flashes its light to communicate with others of its kind and claim territory. By discharging positive and negative electricity from the antennae, it can both defend itself and stun its prey. Chinchou lives on dark {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean floors}}, rarely ever coming up to the surface. However, it has demonstrated the ability to walk on land in [[EP212|the anime]].
