Chinchou (チョンチー Chonchie) is a Water/Electric-Type Pokémon. It evolves into Lanturn at level 27. The Chinchou family is unique to their ability, Volt Absorb, because they are the only Water-types to be able to have it. Chinchou are from Generation II.
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 releases negatively charged electricity from its antennas as means of hunting, self defense, and communication.
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.
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.
