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.

It mimics the cries of other Pokémon to trick them into thinking it’s one of them. This way they won’t attack it.

It can learn and speak human words. If they gather, they all learn the same saying.

Chatot Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Raikou (Electric), Walrein (Ice), and Rhyperior (Rock) when using Chatot. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB.

  • For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Chatot has a 411 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. It works best as a pivot. Boomburst with Focus Sash is the standard set.

  • 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.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Chatot fills the pivot role. It's a mixed attacker with base 65 Attack and 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.
