Chatot (Japanese: ペラップ Perap) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Chatot is a parakeet-like Pokémon that has a black-colored head similar to an eighth note as well as a tail like a metronome, also black in coloration. It is brightly colored with blue wings, a pink beak and eyelids, a yellow "bib" and talons, and a green stomach. It also possess a white collar similar to a ruff.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Chatot can send damaging sound waves at the foe using human words it has learned.

Chatot is the only known Pokémon that learns Chatter. Not even Smeargle can Sketch it. However, despite being a fully evolved Pokémon, it cannot learn Hyper Beam or Giga Impact.

Behavior

Chatot often copy human speech. It mimics the cries of other Pokémon to trick them into thinking it's one of them; in this way they will not attack it.

Habitat

Chatot are found in wooded grassland and thick forest, preferably with much rain.

Trivia

  • Chatot's English name was revealed on December 17, 2006.
  • Prior to the release of Diamond and Pearl, Chatot was believed to be the first naturally pure Flying-type Pokémon.
  • Although Chatot's tail very closely resembles a metronome, it cannot learn the move of the same name.
    • However, the move Metronome is known as "Wag Finger" in Japan, and its tail clearly isn't a finger nor does it have any fingers.
  • Chatot is the only Pokémon whose cry is not altered when it faints or is sent out with a status condition.
  • Chatot is widely considered to be a novelty Pokémon, due to it being comparatively weaker when compared to other Flying types and whose inclusion in the game simply seems to make use of the Nintendo DS microphone for its Chatter attack.
    • Chatot is also the only Pokémon that can learn, or even use, Chatter.
  • Despite a significantly higher Special Attack and Speed stat, Chatot awards EV points in Attack.
  • All Chatot's known Abilities are shared with Pidgey and its evolutionary line.
  • In Generation IV, a person in Eterna City will trade a Chatot in return for a Buizel, and the Chatot's nickname is Charap, a mixture of the English and Japanese versions of its name.
  • Chatot's color palette was changed slightly in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, despite it being a non-Johto Pokémon. This also happened to Torterra, Chimchar, Stunky, Skuntank, Glameow, Purugly, and Registeel.
  • Chatot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 411.
  • Chatot is the only non-legendary Pokémon, barring Phione, to be banned from Generation V's Global Battle Union, likely owing to complications caused by Chatter.

Origin

Chatot closely resembles a Masked Lovebird, a kind of small parrot. It also resembles a small version of a Blue-and-Yellow Macaw. Its head looks like an eighth note, and its tail resembles a metronome. Additionally, its white neck feathers resemble a collar.

Name origin

Chatot is a combination of chat and parrot.

Perap may be a combination of parrot and rap. It may also derive from ぺらぺら perapera, which can mean "fluent in languages" but also "blah blah blah", referring to how incessantly some parrots will talk and chatter.
