Chatter inflicts damage and may {{status|Confusion|confuse}} the target. Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Soundproof}} are not affected by this move. If the move has recorded audio from its [[field move]] functionality, that audio will play for the move's sound effect instead of Chatot's regular cry.

Generally, the higher the volume of the recording is, the higher the chance of confusion. The recording is stored as a 1000-byte structure within the game as a 4-bit PCM ({{wp|pulse-code modulation}}) recording. When a sound is recorded, 1984 8-bit {{wp|Sampling (signal processing)|samples}} of microphone input are taken at roughly 2000 samples per second. 16 zero bytes are appended onto the end of this recording to create a 2000 byte 8-bit PCM recording, which is then downsized to a 4-bit PCM recording via a translation table:

Generation V games record 8000 8-bit samples at 8000 samples per second for its recordings, and convert every fourth sample taken from these, starting with the first sample, to the 1000-byte 4-bit PCM recording in the same manner as that of Generation IV. However, instead of one byte determining the confusion odds, the {{wp|exclusive or}} of three bytes, the 100th, 500th, and 700th bytes (corresponding to the 397th, 401st, 1997th, 2001st, 2797th and 2801st samples of the original recording), are taken. The odds of confusion are calculated as follows:

====Generation VI onwards====

Chatter's power was changed from 60 to 65.

 

Chatter can no longer be used outside of battle to record sound; it will now always confuse the target. Despite the removal of its field move functionality, Chatter still cannot be copied by {{m|Sketch}}. But Chatter can be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}.

* Chatter is the one of only three moves in the [[core series]] that cannot be {{m|Sketch}}ed. This is presumably because, as a field move, if Chatter is used by a Pokémon other than {{p|Chatot}}, that Pokémon's cry will not be temporarily changed to the recorded version even if audio is recorded. This is because recording audio via Chatter is programmed to switch Chatter's user to its alternative cry{{fact}}, and only Chatot is programmed to have its alternative cry read from the audio data. Despite all of this, Chatter still remains not Sketchable even in Generation VI and after, where vocals can no longer be recorded.
