Collector Insights

Chinchou is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It possesses two attacks: "Searching Light," which requires one Colorless energy to let the player examine a face-down Prize card, and "Electro Ball," costing three energy (Lightning and two Colorless) to deal 30 damage. The Pokémon has a resistance to Metal-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and is weak to Fighting-type moves, taking double damage. Its design includes a single Colorless energy retreat cost, aligning with its basic evolution in the Sun & Moon series. The card’s flavor text describes Chinchou as a creature dwelling in dark, sunless depths, using bioluminescent antennae to signal other members of its species. It was released in the Sun & Moon set on February 3, 2017, and is classified as a Common rarity card. The artwork by Ayaka Yoshida captures its aquatic, electrically charged appearance.

It lives in the depths beyond the reach of sunlight. It flashes lights on its antennae to communicate with others of its kind.
