Trivia

• Chimecho's index number is the very last in the Generation III games (excluding glitch Pokémon, and Unown forms), even after Deoxys. This may imply that Chimecho was added late into the games' development. However, this only applies to the handheld games and Pokémon Colosseum; in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, this trait belongs to Munchlax.
• Chimecho's National Pokédex number and the number of the episode in which it first appeared are the same: 358.
• Chimecho is the lightest fully-evolved Pokémon at 2.2 lbs.

Origin

Chimecho is based on a Japanese fūrin wind chime.

Name origin

Chimecho is a combination of chime and echo.

Chirean is from ちりんちりん chirinchirin (onomatopoeia for bell chiming) and 風鈴 fūrin (wind chime).
