Chatot Best Moveset
Normal/Flying at 92 Sp. Atk and 91 Speed. Agile Style at 91 Speed secures double turns. The moveset runs special Normal and Flying TermStab at decent pace and power. 76/45/42 bulk means anything physical ends it, but the speed and special output are real.
91 Speed and Chatter confused opponents in Gen IV (Diamond & Pearl). The move used recorded voice clips and was banned for voice chat abuse.

Nasty Plot boosted Sp. Atk in Gen V (Black & White). 92 base wasn't much to boost, but the setup move existed.

Boomburst arrived in Gen VI (X & Y). 140 base power Normal STAB from 92 Sp. Atk. Chatot's strongest set ever. 76 HP and 42 Sp. Def were the cost.

Boomburst was strong but Chatot couldn't take a hit in Gen VII (Sun & Moon). Normal/Flying with paper defenses fainted to any priority.

Chatot Weakness
Electric, Ice, and Rock moves hit Chatot for super-effective damage. The upside? Ground and Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Chatot leans toward special offense (base 92 Sp.Atk) instead of trying to wall anything.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Electric, Ice, Rock |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Grass, Bug |
| 0x (Immune) | Ground, Ghost |

Base Stats
Chatot's built around special offense. Sp. Atk leads the charge, Sp. Def pays for it. Tough to catch, worth 1 Attack EV. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
A versatile performer skilled in the imitation of human speech. It is said that older, more experienced Chatot can even understand the meaning of the words they mimic.
Chatot Guide
It depends on your team. Chatot at 411 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Normal/Flying coverage might be exactly what you're missing.
Chatot has a 411 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a situational pick that fills a niche. It works best as a pivot.
Keen Eye prevents accuracy from being lowered. That's the one you want on Chatot. Big Pecks is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Tangled Feet works too if your team needs something different.
Chatot fills the pivot role. It's a special attacker with base 92 Sp. Atk. Base 91 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's fragile, can't afford to take many hits.
Game Availability
Chatot first appeared in Diamond & Pearl and has been available in 11 games across 7 generations. Obtainable through wild encounters in most titles where it appears.
