Stats & Training
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 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.

Sun & Moon Chatot Best Moveset

Moves
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 coverage across 7 types adds range.

Chatot Guide
For Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, Chatot has a 411 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Sun & Moon's meta. 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.
In Sun & Moon, Normal/Flying typing gives Chatot 4 resistances plus Ground and Ghost immunity. Base 92 Sp. Atk is the standout stat. 411 BST gives it a workable foundation.
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.
