Stats and Stat Score

Chinchou has 104 HP, 106 speed and a 1.01x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is above average, its speed is about average and its attack is among the lowest on the roster. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 40, which puts it at rank 654 overall, rank 66 of 100 among Johto Pokemon and rank 93 of 149 Water-types and 47 of 64 Electric-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Chinchou sits next to Sandile one place above it and Deerling one place below it.

Chinchou moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Chinchou starts every run with Water Gun: a piercing jet. Reliable at any range.

The level-up cards can then offer 16 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 8 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

Weaknesses and resistances

Chinchou takes extra damage from Grass (1.6x) and Ground (1.6x). It resists Steel (0.36x), Fire (0.6x), Water (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), and Flying (0.6x). The remaining 11 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Chinchou are the ones whose first type is Grass or Ground. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Water or Electric moves do not hit harder just because Chinchou shares the type.

How to get Chinchou

Chinchou is part of the Johto banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (30% for Uncommon) and then picks one of the 21 Uncommon Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Chinchou a 1.43% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 70 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 30 coins, or 90 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

A rarity-2 Pokemon like Chinchou can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.

Shiny Chinchou exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Chinchou as an enemy

Chinchou can show up as a regular enemy from 0:00 into the run (enemy tier 1 and 2). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is beamer: it fires a long ray after a one-second warning line on the ground.
