Chobin (Japanese: チョビン Chobin) is the eager assistant of Dr. Kaminko in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Chobin speaks very highly of Dr. Kaminko and takes great pride in being his assistant, even though he often fails to see the impracticality of Kaminko's many questionable inventions. He also has a tendency to battle anyone who steps foot on Dr. Kaminko's property, including Michael, as he mistakes them for robbers. He is the only character in the games to have the Trainer classes Kaminko Aide (Japanese: カミンコの助手 Kaminko's Assistant) and Robo Groudon (Japanese: メカ・グラードン Mecha Groudon).

He is first battled upon arriving at Kaminko's House to get Jovi, then battled a second time following Professor Krane's abduction. Later in the game, Chobin picks a third fight with Michael when he arrives to find Makan and get an upgrade for his scooter. After being defeated, Chobin summons one of Dr. Kaminko's inventions, the Robo Groudon, and continues the battle. He continues to use the Robo Groudon in all later rematches, including those in Orre Colosseum, though this bears no impact on his actual skills as a Trainer.

At the Orre Colosseum, Chobin's strategy involves using status moves to increase his Pokémon's stats such as Swords Dance and Psych Up in conjunction with Speed Boost, ending with a Baton Pass to transfer the increased stats to an ally with powerful attacking moves.

Quotes

Kaminko's House

• First visit

"Wait! Who goes there?! You must be a burglar! Chobin will put you straight! Don't you move!"

"Chobin is the name! And Chobin is the number-one assistant to Dr. Kaminko! Chobin is the only assistant, so Chobin has to be the number-one assistant!"

• After battle

"You've made Chobin angry now! Even though Chobin lost, you're still not going past Chobin!"

"Huh? Closer observation reveals that the subject is a child. Ergo, the subject is not a burglar! Ahaha! Chobin wishes you spoke up right away. You're <player>? Chobin apologizes for jumping to the wrong conclusion."

"<player>, you are that girl's younger brother? Sometimes she comes here."

"She wanders around everywhere. Chobin finds it hard keeping an eye on her so that she does not bother the Doctor. Oh, yes! <player>, you will have a look at Dr. Kaminko's inventions? You will, yes? Okay, this way, please! Follow Chobin!"

"Okay! Chobin will now show you the inventions of the inestimable Dr. Kaminko."

"Dr. Kaminko's inventions, it needs to be said, are number one in the world. Chobin is full of admiration!"

"Oh? Why does Chobin know that they are number one worldwide? That needs explaining? In the whole wide world, no one but Dr. Kaminko would invent such inventions! Therefore, they are number one in the world without question! Our Dr. Kaminko, who is verily great, is inventing in that room there."

"Uh-oh! That girl is at Dr. Kaminko's side again! Chobin hopes she is causing no disturbance."

"Anyway, let Chobin acquaint you with just some of Dr. Kaminko's greatest inventions. Let the VCR roll!"

"Ahaha! Incredible, is it not? There is much more than that, too."

"The Doctor's inventions, which are fantastic, can be seen on this monitor. Chobin gives you permission to use this anytime you like."

"Chobin cannot possibly make that sort of promise. She is your sister? Do something about her, please. She never listens to what Chobin says, ever."

• Second visit

"Wait! Who goes there?!"

"You must be another burglar! Chobin will put you straight! Don't you move! Chobin is the name! And Chobin is the number-one assistant to Dr. Kaminko!"

"Chobin is still the only assistant, so Chobin has to be the number-one assistant!"

• Being defeated

"Chobin lost! Chobin lost!"

• After battle

"Huh? Oh, you're that boy from before?! Chobin wishes you spoke up right away."

"Is that so. But you being here in person now, do have a look at Dr. Kaminko's inventions. You may say anything, but Dr. Kaminko's inventions are number one in the whole wide world! Chobin is full of admiration! The Doctor's inventions, which are quite fantastic, Chobin here has compiled and edited. The video can be viewed anytime on the monitor in the entrance. Stop by and look."

"Well? You may say anything, but Dr. Kaminko's inventions are number one in the whole wide world!"

"Th-these are strictly off-limits. Chobin cannot function without them. Extremely, absolutely not."
