Chimecho (Japanese: チリーン Chirean) is a Psychic-type Pokémon.

Biology

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

James has a Chimecho that was obtained in Who's Flying Now? at the Fortree City Feather Carnival. It says its name in the Team Rocket motto right after Jessie's Wobbuffet, and James cherishes it so much that he does not allow it to battle.

In Sweet Baby James, James left his Chimecho with an elderly couple to recover from illness at his old vacation home in Saffron City.
