Chimecho Description

Chimecho is a Psychic-type Pokemon that travels by floating on the wind. It uses its hollow body to echo cries and can emit powerful waves of sound to repel foes.

Competitive Overview

Is Chimecho Good in Competitive?

Chimecho is usually a niche competitive Pokemon because its base form has limited offensive pressure compared with stronger Psychic-types. However, it can provide support with healing, screens, utility moves and Levitate-based Ground immunity.

Chimecho becomes more important in modern coverage because of Mega Chimecho in Pokemon Legends Z-A: Mega Dimension. Its Mega Evolution adds Psychic and Steel typing and stronger defensive and special attacking potential.
