Chatot's US 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.
Although Chatot's tail very closely resembles a metronome, it cannot learn the move of the same name.
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 weak 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.
Origin
Chatot closely resembles a Masked Lovebird, a kind of small parrot. Its head looks like an eighth note, and its tail resembles a metronome. Additionally, its white neck feathers resemble a collar.
Name origin
Chatot's name comes from chat and parrot. Chatot's Japanese name comes from the words parrot and rap. The name could also come from the Japanese word 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.
In other languages
German: Plaudagei - From plaudern (chat) and Papagei (parrot).
