the difference between a move being programmed into SV, but cannot be used, such as V-Create, is that if say rayquaza with v-create were released, the move would work just fine+animations+effects. However moves that have a description programmed, but are unselectable, means just that, even hacked in, such a move cannot be selected. check data dumps like this for guidance https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12ThXFJ7Rdzgdj_dKvJyTP-H97vT9UisL/

{{MoveResearch|Confusion chance in Battle Revolution (IV only), What if you record another Pokémon's Cry?}}
Chatter inflicts damage and can {{status|Confusion|confuse}} the target.
In Generations IV and V, the player can record audio on this move by using it as a [[field move]], which affects its chance of inflicting confusion. If Chatter has recorded audio (via its [[field move]] functionality), that audio will play for the move's sound effect instead of Chatot's regular cry.
Chatter is a [[sound-based move]].
Chatter can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.
====Generation IV====
====Generation IV====
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.
If Chatter has no audio data, the chance of confusion is 1%. If it has recorded audio, its chance of inflicting confusion is 1%, 11% or 31% ([[#Calculation|depending on the recording]]).


If Chatter has no audio data (as is the case for wild and NPC-owned Chatot), the chance of confusion is 1%. Otherwise, the chance of confusing the foe is determined by the volume of the recording.
The odds of confusion are not affected by {{a|Serene Grace}}, but are affected by {{a|Shield Dust}}.


====Generation V====
If Chatter has no audio data, the chance of confusion is now 0%. If it has recorded audio, its chance of inflicting confusion is 0% or 10% ([[#Calculation|depending on the recording]]).
The confusion odds are affected by {{a|Shield Dust}}, {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{a|Sheer Force}}, and the combined effect of {{m|Water Pledge}} and {{m|Fire Pledge}}.
====Generation VI to VIII====
Chatter's power was changed from 60 to 65.
Chatter deals damage and now always confuses the target.
Chatter can no longer be used outside of battle to record sound. Despite the removal of its field move functionality, Chatter still cannot be copied by {{m|Sketch}}; however, it can be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}.
====Generation IX====
Chatter cannot be selected in a battle.
===Outside of battle===
In Generations IV and V, Chatter can be used as a [[field move]] to record audio using the [[Nintendo DS]]'s microphone. This audio will then play as Chatot's cry, as well as when Chatot uses Chatter. Audio recorded for Chatter gets distorted, possibly as a failsafe to prevent inappropriate language from being played back.
If Chatot is deposited in the [[PC]], the recorded audio is reset to Chatot's default cry.
==Calculation==
In Generation IV and V, the chance of inflicting {{status|confusion}} depends on the volume of the recording.
===Generation IV===
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:

To pack two 4-bit samples into a byte, the first sample takes up the lower four bits and the second sample takes up the upper four bits. Now, depending on the value of the 16th byte in the 1000-byte 4-bit PCM recording (corresponding to the 31st and 32nd samples from the original), the chance of confusion is as follows:

The volume level roughly corresponding to the specific values are given in the table. Note that since the sample is near the beginning of the recording, it is not necessary to maintain a high volume throughout the recording.

Chatter can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.
If Chatter has no audio data, the chance of confusion is 0%.
 
If Chatter has no audio data, the chance of confusion is now 0%.


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:

Thus, it is necessary to maintain medium or high volume in roughly the first quarter-second for the maximum odds of confusion. The confusion odds are affected by {{a|Shield Dust}}, {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{a|Sheer Force}}, and the combined effect of {{m|Water Pledge}} and {{m|Fire Pledge}}.
Thus, it is necessary to maintain medium or high volume in roughly the first quarter-second for the maximum odds of confusion.
 
====Generation VI and VII====
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}}; however, it can be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}.
 
Chatter will become a {{type|Water}} move when used by a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Liquid Voice}}. If the user is affected by {{m|Throat Chop}}, it will be unable to use this move for two turns.
 
===Outside of battle===
In Generations IV and V, Chatter can be used as a [[field move]] to record audio using the [[Nintendo DS]]'s microphone. This audio will then play as Chatot's cry, as well as when Chatot uses Chatter. Audio recorded for Chatter gets distorted, possibly as a failsafe to prevent inappropriate language from being played back.
 
If Chatot is deposited in the [[PC]], the recorded audio is reset to Chatot's default cry.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Chatter was one of only three moves in the [[core series]] that could not 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, and only Chatot is programmed to have its alternative cry read from the audio data. Despite all of this, Chatter still cannot be Sketched even in [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] and {{gen|VII}}, where vocals can no longer be recorded.

* Prior to the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Chatot was banned from the Pokémon [[Global Battle Union]], presumably because of Chatter being abused to record vulgar words and phrases. This abuse is also presumably the reason for the ability to record audio for the move being removed starting with Generation VI.
