Item: Choice Specs
Ability: Keen Eye
Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
EVs: 4 Hp / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Moveset:
- Boomburst

Dominating single battles, Chatot is a marvelous Special Sweeper. This configuration strives to overwhelm foes with intense special moves. Choice Specs will increase the damage of Chatot's special moves by 1.5x but will lock you into the first move you pick. With Keen Eye, Chatot's accuracy can't be lowered by others; ignores their evasiveness stat. Chatot isn't an easy polly to use. Feel free to replace any of the last 3 moves with another special move you might find such as heat wave. I would personally keep echoed voice due to choice lock power plus the effects of echoed voice increasing in power every time used
