Chatot is an avian Pokémon similar to a parakeet. Its head is black and resembles an eighth note, while its black tail resembles a metronome. It plumage is brightly colored with blue wings, a yellow chest and feet, a green stomach, and a pink, hooked beak and eyelids. Additionally, there is a ruff of white feathers around its neck. This Pokémon’s tongue is similar to a human's, allowing it to imitate human speech. Chatot is also able to mimic the cries of other Pokémon, and uses this ability as a defense mechanism. Chatot uses the sounds it has learned and arranges them into its own melody, and flicks its tail to keep rhythm. Chatot is the only known Pokémon that learns Chatter.
Chatot, the Music Pokémon. It copies whatever sounds it hears and arranges them into its own melody. (Note: Chatot's actual classification is the Music Note Pokémon, not the Music Pokémon, as stated by May's Pokédex.)
In Pokémon Adventures, Pearl owns a Chatot nicknamed Chatler 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 (although it cannot understand what it's saying).
Chatot is the only Pokémon whose cry is not altered when it faints or is sent out with a status condition.
Despite having significantly higher Special Attack and Speed stats, Chatot awards EV points in Attack.
In Generation IV, a person in Eterna City will trade a Chatot in return for a Buizel, and the Chatot's nickname is Charap, a mixture of its English and Japanese names. If this Pokémon is traded to X or Y, the game will recognize the Chatot to be Japanese.
Chatot is the only non-Legendary Pokémon, barring Phione, to be banned from Generation V's Global Battle Union, likely owing to complications caused by Chatter.
Origin
Chatot closely resembles a masked lovebird, a kind of small parrot. It also resembles a blue-and-yellow macaw. Its head looks like an eighth note, and its tail resembles a metronome. Additionally, its white neck feathers resemble a collar.
Perap may be a combination of parrot and rap. It may also derive from ぺらぺら perapera, which can mean "fluent in languages" but also "blah blah blah", referring to how incessantly some parrots will talk and chatter.
