Chatot's Normal/Flying typing gives it an immunity to Ground and Ghost. Only 3 weaknesses on top of that — it has plenty of safe switch-in opportunities. Been around since Gen 4. Sits at a decent but contested Speed tier.
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.
They can learn and speak human words. If they gather, they all learn the same saying.
It keeps rhythm by flicking its tail feathers like a metronome. It also imitates human speech.
Chatot Weakness
GoodElectric, Ice, and Rock-type 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.
No evolution chain to worry about here. Chatot is a standalone Pokemon with no compatible partners for breeding through one egg group. Eggs come out average hatch time.
How to Evolve
Breed Chatot easily from the Flying egg group. Pass egg moves like Agility, Air Cutter, Boomburst and 3 more to offspring.
Chatot runs Nasty Plot to boost before sweeping. Keeneye and Timid nature shape the build, with max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs to capitalize after one turn of setup, plus double STAB to back it up.

Don't skip the egg moves. Chatot picks up Agility and Air Cutter only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Boomburst and Hyper Voice while Steel and Dark coverage and more adds range.
