Chatot (Japanese: ペラップ Perap) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Chatot is a parakeet-like Pokémon that has a black-colored head similar to an eighth note as well as a tail like a metronome, also black in coloration. It is brightly colored with blue wings, a pink beak and eyelids, a yellow "bib" and talons, and a green stomach. It also possess a white collar similar to a ruff.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Chatot can send damaging sound waves at the foe using human words it has learned.

Chatot is the only known Pokémon that learns Chatter. Not even Smeargle can Sketch it. However, despite being a fully evolved Pokémon, it cannot learn Hyper Beam or Giga Impact.

Behavior

Trivia

• Chatot's English name was revealed on December 17, 2006.
• Prior to the release of Diamond and Pearl, Chatot was believed to be the first naturally pure Flying-type Pokémon.
• 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.
• Despite a significantly higher Special Attack and Speed stat, 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 the English and Japanese versions of its name.
• Chatot is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 411.
• 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.
• Chatot is one of only three Pokemon introduced in Generation VI as of Generation V, excluding legendary Pokemon, to have no evolutionary relatives, the others being Carnivine and Rotom.

Origin

Chatot closely resembles a Masked Lovebird, a kind of small parrot. It also resembles a small version of 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.

Name origin

Chatot is a combination of chat and parrot.

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.
