      Recommended moves

      Chimecho has balanced stats across the board but none of them are enough to make it viable for PvE battles like Raids and Gyms.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Being a Psychic type with only Psychic and Ghost moves makes Chimecho extremely susceptible to Dark-type Pokémon, threats that are prominent in the Great League. Additionally, with nothing particular to set it apart or give it a niche, Chimecho falls to most of its opponents. The only talking point is that it beats Azumarill and a couple of Ghost types. There's nothing beyond these few wins to consider it worthy of combat.

      🟡 Ultra League

      Chimecho is decent in the Ultra League, with it even beating Giratina Altered, Cresselia, and Armored Mewtwo! In fact, some additional wins are also jaw-dropping, including regular and Shadow Empoleon, Cobalion, Virizion, and Togekiss. All these wins are incredible, and make it justified to run Chimecho and shock the opponent.

      The best part is that even in other cases, the heavy neutral damage from Astonish troubles a large section of the meta (except Normal and Dark), so you can still do quite a number even in bad matchups.

      🟣 Master League

      Chimecho’s stats are too low for usage in the Master League.
