Chatot, the talking parrot Pokemon, has captivated trainers since its debut in Diamond & Pearl. It’s ability to mimic and unique design have made it a fan favorite, but catching one in Pokemon GO has been a challenge, especially for those outside its native region.

Worry not, fellow trainers, because the recent Sinnoh Tour Global event has opened up exciting opportunities to add this chatterbox to your collection, and even snag a shiny version!

How to Catch Chatot in Pokemon GO?

Previously, Chatot was a regional exclusive Pokemon, found only in the wild south of the equator. This includes regions like Australia, New Zealand, South America, and parts of Africa and Asia. This meant trainers in the northern hemisphere had to rely on trades, eggs, or special events to get their hands on one.

The Sinnoh Tour Brings Chatot to the Global Stage

The recent Sinnoh Tour Global event, running from February 24th to 25th, 2024, has temporarily lifted Chatot’s regional restrictions. This means trainers worldwide can encounter it in the wild, specifically in areas with increased spawns of Normal-type Pokemon like parks, playgrounds, and residential areas.

However, there’s a twist! Chatot’s wild spawns are not boosted during the event. So, while you can technically find it anywhere, your chances are still quite low.

Hatching a Chatot: The Reliable Route

The most consistent way to obtain Chatot, regardless of location, is through hatching 10km Eggs. This method works throughout the event and even beyond, making it a valuable option for trainers who missed the wild spawns or simply prefer a more controlled approach.

Important Note: Only 10km Eggs collected during the Sinnoh Tour Global event window (February 24th-25th, 6 PM local time) have a chance to hatch Chatot. Eggs collected outside this timeframe will not yield the chirping parrot.

Shiny Chatot: A Rare Feather in Your Cap

Good news, shiny hunters! Shiny Chatot debuted alongside its regular form during the Sinnoh Tour event. Shiny Chatot boasts a vibrant green plumage, making it a real head-turner.

Just like its regular counterpart, shiny Chatot can be encountered in both the wild (during the event window) and hatched from 10km Eggs collected during the event. Keep in mind that the odds of encountering a shiny are always low, so be prepared for some dedicated egg-hatching or patient wild searching.

Beyond the Sinnoh Tour: Trading and Future Events

While the Sinnoh Tour Global event offers the best current opportunities to catch Chatot, there are other options to consider:

  • Trading: If you have friends in regions south of the equator where Chatot is normally found, trading might be your quickest route. Remember to respect trading etiquette and avoid unfair trades.
  • Future Events: Niantic occasionally features regional Pokemon in global events or introduces new ways to obtain them. Keep an eye out for future announcements and updates.

Chatot’s Stats and Potential Moves

Tips and Tricks for Hatching Success

Maximize Your Hatches: To increase your chances of hatching a Chatot, use Incubators efficiently. Consider purchasing additional Incubators or using your free one strategically. Prioritize hatching 10km eggs collected during the event hours.

Incense and Lures: While not directly affecting egg hatches, attracting more Pokemon, in general, might increase your chances of encountering a Chatot in the wild (if you’re in its natural habitat).

Walk with a Buddy: Assigning a Pokemon with the “Buddy Candy Earner” ability as your buddy can help you hatch eggs faster. Some good options include Starly, Skwovet, and Bunnelby.

Join the Community: Connecting with other Pokemon GO players through online communities or local groups can be beneficial. You can trade for Chatot or share tips and experiences with fellow trainers.

Tips for Increasing Your Chances of Catching Chatot

Here are some handy tips to maximize your chances of catching Chatot:

  • Utilize Incense and Lures: Incense attracts Pokémon to your location for 30 minutes, while Lures attract Pokémon to PokéStops for 30 minutes. These tools can significantly increase your encounter rate with wild Pokémon.
  • Prioritize Poké Balls with Higher Catch Rates: Great Balls and Ultra Balls offer a higher catch rate compared to Poké Balls. If you have a limited supply, use them strategically when encountering Chatot.
  • Aim for Nice Throws, Great Throws, and Excellent Throws: Successfully landing these throws increases your chances of catching the Pokémon. Practice throwing mechanics to become a master catcher!
  • Use Berries: Razz Berries weaken wild Pokémon, making them easier to catch. Additionally, Pinap Berries can double the amount of candy you receive upon catching a Pokémon, which is helpful for powering up your Chatot.

Beyond the Catch: Powering Up Your Chatot

Once you’ve successfully captured Chatot, it’s time to make it a formidable battler. Here’s how:

  • Candy and Stardust: Power up your Chatot using Candy and Stardust. You can acquire Candy by catching more Chatot, transferring unwanted Pokémon to Professor Willow, or walking with Chatot as your buddy Pokémon. Stardust is a universal resource used to power up all Pokémon and can be obtained by catching Pokémon, hatching eggs, participating in raids and gym battles, and using Star Pieces.
  • Fast Attacks and Charged Attacks: Chatot boasts a variety of Fast Attacks and Charged Attacks. Explore different combinations to find a moveset that complements your battle strategy. Consider factors like attack power, energy cost, and type effectiveness when choosing your moves.
  • Focus on Chatot’s Strengths: Chatot is a Normal and Flying-type Pokémon. It excels against Grass-type, Bug-type, and Fighting-type Pokémon but struggles against Electric-type and Rock-type Pokémon.

Conclusion

With the Sinnoh Tour Global event offering both wild spawns and egg hatches, Chatot is more accessible than ever before. Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or just starting your Pokemon GO journey, now’s the perfect time to add this unique Pokemon to your collection. Remember, the event window is limited, so don your walking shoes, stock up on incubators, and get ready to chat with a new feathered friend!
