Chimecho, The Wind Chime Pokémon. It makes its cries echo inside its hollow body. When it becomes enraged, its cries result in ultrasonic waves that have the power to knock foes flying. In high winds, it cries as it hangs from a tree branch or the eaves of a building using a suction cup on its head. It plucks berries with its long tail and eats them. It travels by riding on winds. It cleverly uses its long tail to pluck nuts and berries, which it loves to eat..

Strategy Using Chimecho
Chimecho is one of many Pokémon on got the short end
of the stick. Weak move pool and very poor stats,
short of its Special Attack (which is above average)
which is wasted due to having only one effective
Special Attack and little speed to be able to put it
to any use. All this Pokémon can do is be a utility,
and a poor one at that (when compared to other
Pokémon).
The first set is a pseudo-passer. Psychic to help fend
off Fighting types, Yawn to buy a free turn for you to
set up Reflect, Light Screen or Safeguard. It'd be
preferable to switch into an EQing Choice Bander,
since that'll at least buy you a single free turn.
The second set I don't advise using, but since it's
one of the few available clerics it deserves a
mention. The trouble Chimecho has as a cleric is the
fact that it can't switch into attacks freely and it
has no way of heeling itself short of Rest. That means
that to stay alive it requires a fellow Pokémon to use
Wish. That, unfortunately, means it'll become
predictable for your opponent and easily picked on.
Unless you are a mastermind at battling it'll be hard
to outsmart your opponent while maintaining a decent
usage of Chimecho. Either way, this set presents a
similar strategy to the above set. Switch in, buy a
free turn then Bell or use Reflect/Light Screen.
Get in, get out, simple.
Other potential moves include:
Shadow Ball
Taunt
Snatch
Torment
Psych up
- Shadow Ball could KO the occasional Alakazam and
Gengar in one or two hits, though it won't do much
else.
- It doesn't quite have the speed to pull off Taunt
successfully, but it remains an option if you're
willing to pump in enough Speed EVs for it to outrun
the common tanks, although it encounters the issue of
not having the staying power to take the Taunted hit.
- Snatch is an option which in the right hands could
help change the course of the battle. Stealing
Blissey's Heal Bells has it's obvious advantages and
the ability to take stat ups can temporarily hinder an
opposing Pokémon.
- Torment is more of a self-sacrifice move, since
it'll have difficulty using it, but it remains an
option as always since it can mess with a lot of
Pokémon.
- Psych up. Give it enough speed to outrun Suicune and
then mock it as you mimic its Calm Minds. Shame it
can't really use the opponents Stat-ups much to its
advantage. I suppose it has some potential in a Double
Battle.
The main issue with all these moves is that a majority
of Pokémon can use them to much better effect.
Chimecho has nothing special going for it. There are
much better Under-Used Clerics, better Under-Used
psuedo-passers and much better Under-Used Pokémon.
Everything it can do plenty of other Pokémon can do
better.
EV Corner:
Metagame:
{Calm [+Special Defence, -Attack}: 196 HP / 62 Def /
252 SDef
On both sets you want to have maximum Leftover
recovery. It's more likely to take a hit in it's
Special Defence so I suggest much of your focus should
go there. Either way, it won't be taking many hits.
Cartridge:
252 HP / 252 SDef / 6 Def
Bold or Calm nature is preferable here. EVs focus on
the only area Chimecho will last in, Special Defence.
Contest Moveset
A good Contest Moveset for Chimecho would have to be this for the Smart Contest best with Calm, Gentle, Careful, Sassy Nature:

Shadow ball
