Chingling (Japanese: リーシャン Lisyan ) is a Psychic-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV .
It evolves into Chimecho when leveled up with high friendship during the night .
Biology
Chingling is a yellow, spherical Pokémon similar to a jingle bell. It has stubby arms and legs, as well as beady, black eyes. There are circular openings on both sides of its mouth.
Inside its mouth is a red orb, which creates a ringing sound as the Pokémon moves. Additionally, the orb can be vibrated to create high-frequency, long-lasting cries to deafen its opponents. The sounds produced can be too high for people to hear, yet powerful enough to give them headaches. Atop its body is ring-like growth with a striped rope through the middle. The rope is red-and-white with short tassels on the ends.

Chingling evolves into Chimecho .
