Chinchou

Angler Pokémon ^#170

Its antennae, which evolved from a fin, have both positive and negative charges flowing through them.

On the dark ocean floor, its only means of communication is its constantly flashing lights.

- Volt-Absorb
  Whenever an electric-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. This ability will not take effect if this Pokémon is ground-type and thus immune to Electric moves. Electric moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute. This effect includes non-damaging moves, i.e. thunder wave.
- Illuminate
  Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the wild encounter rate is doubled. This ability has no effect in battle.

- Water-Absorb
  Whenever a water-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. Water moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute.

Chinchou blink their shining antennae at one
another to claim their respective turf.
