Strategy Overview

Thanks to its access to STAB Boomburst, one of the strongest Normal-type attacks in the game, Chatot sets itself apart as one of the most destructive wallbreakers in the tier. Chatot's offensive tools, such as Heat Wave, Nasty Plot, and U-turn, give it options against common Normal-resistant foes, such as Klinklang and Ferroseed. Chatter, despite not offering as much coverage as Heat Wave, is usable because of its unique ability to simultaneously inflict damage and cause confusion. Unfortunately, Chatot's Speed tier, while allowing it to outspeed some threats such as Lilligant and Mesprit, often leaves it outpaced by other offensive Pokemon, such as Tauros, Floatzel, and Scyther. Chatot faces stiff competition from Choice Specs Swellow as an offensive Normal-type because of its inferior Speed and Swellow's access to Scrappy, although Chatot's Boomburst hits nearly twice as hard as Swellow's. Chatot sports an unfortunate defensive typing and poor defenses, making it easier to revenge kill. Additionally, its abilities are almost completely worthless, usually having little to no positive impact on Chatot.
