Chinchou, The Angler Pokémon. It shoots positive and negative electricity between the tips of it's two antennae and zaps it's enemies. On the dark ocean floor, it's only means of communication is of it's flashing lights. It's anttenae evolved from fins. It lets loose the energy from it's antennas to make it's prey faint. It's antennas are filled with cells that generate strong electricity. They create so much power that it even tingles Chinchou slightly.

Strategy Using Chinchou
Chinchou has some rather poor stats, but that doesn't mean it can't be used. It learns a few moves that allow it to be annoying.
Being a water and electric pokemon, it has a somewhat useful Type combination, the ability I like on this Pokemon is Volt Absorb. Although I would find it hard to believe that someone would even attempt to attack this Pokemon with an electric move.
Use thunderwave against your opponent if you find that they pose too much of a threat and might find it easy to knock out your Pokemon. Confuse Ray is cool if you want to do more annoyance to your opponent, I know this move does so, having been at the recieving end of a Confuse Ray before.
Substitute comes in useful here, although it takes away some of your HP, some of this should be restored by Leftovers. Surf is obviously included because of those Ground Pokemon with Earthquake, you need something to prevent those Pokemon from defeating you out right.
This set doesn't really have much else to explain, although I'm sure there's a few other possibilities you can come up with.
EV Corner:
Max out the EVs in Defense for Chinchou with any remaining in HP & Special Defense
Strategy Against Chinchou
Chinchou' Defenses are both below average. It's Physical is Lower however so a Physical Volley or a Ground Volley should work.
