In Pokémon Adventures, Pearl owns a Chatot nicknamed Chahiko who often smacks Diamond's Munchlax on the head. It, like a parrot, is able to perfectly mimic human speech, which it makes a habit of (but like parrots, cannot understand what it says).
Chatot's US name was revealed on December 17, 2006.
Prior to the release of Diamond and Pearl, Chatot was believed to be the first naturally pure Template:Type2 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.
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.
In Pokémon Platinum, 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 is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 411.

Name origin
