About Chatter

Does Punk Rock really not affect Chatter? It sounds quite weird since it's strictly a sound based damaging move, even if it can't be learned by any species in Sword and Shield legally. Lunos (talk) 19:07, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

It would be affected by Punk Rock, but Chatter isn't usable in SwSh. See List of moves by availability (Generation VIII). --AmbientDinosaur (talk) 21:01, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

And was that verified? As in, has someone actually tried to PkHex Chatter into a Pokémon and then tried to use the move in battle? Just to make sure.Lunos (talk) 00:09, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

No, it cannot be verified. Chatter cannot be used in battle in SwSh, even if it was hacked onto a Pokémon. So for this reason it is not listed under affected moves, since it is not possible for Chatter and Punk Rock to interact in SwSh. --AmbientDinosaur (talk) 00:32, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

But Chatter can still be used through Metronome in Generation VIII, so there should be a way to check it. --Marcodpat (talk) 13:50, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
