[[Category:Blue Pokémon]]
Chinchou (Japanese: チョンチー Chonchii) is a Water/Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. The Chinchou family is unique because of their ability, Volt Absorb, being the only Water-types able to have it.
Appearance[]
Chinchou resembles a small deep-sea fish with an oval-shaped body, two small fin-like arms, a pair of stubby legs, and two long antennas tipped with a yellow bulb-shaped sac. Chinchou also has two yellow eyes, each with a proton-shaped pupil.
Behavior[]
Chinchou can release negatively charged electricity from its antennas as means of hunting, self defense, and communication.
Special abilities[]
Chinchou has the abilities Volt Absorb and Illuminate. Volt Absorb heals Chinchou's HP by a quarter when hit by an electric-type move. Illuminate increases the rate of encountering wild Pokémon if Chinchou is placed in the first slot of your party.
Evolution[]
Chinchou evolves into Lanturn at level 27.
In the anime[]
Several Chinchou played a very minor part in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, they helped destroy The Phantom's ship by overpowering and destroying his electrical equipment.
