Chimecho stats are shown below for easy comparison.
Mental Herb is the best item for Trick Room sets because it helps Chimecho ignore Taunt once.
Sitrus Berry is the safest item for general support because it gives immediate recovery.
Chimecho works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.
Chimecho is useful against Fighting and Poison-type Pokemon and teams that struggle with support-oriented Psychic-types.
Heal Pulse and Icy Wind give Chimecho value even when it is not attacking.
Chimecho is threatened by Bug, Ghost and Dark-type attacks. It is also passive compared to stronger Psychic-type Pokemon.
Chimecho can learn Psychic, Ghost, Normal, Electric and support moves across different Pokemon games. Use the section below to view the full move list by learn method.
