Chimecho:

Summary:
Most Used Set:
Chimecho's support set is the most commonly used set on this Pokemon, as it takes advantage of Chimecho's large movepooland supports his team mates in different types of ways. This set allows Chimecho to withstand hits it normally would not thanks to the defensive screens.
Usual Counters:
Honckrow is immune to both Psychic and Hypnosis (Insomnia), and it's STABed Night Slash will always OHKO Chimecho. Another good counter is Hypno, who is immune to Hypnosis thanks to Insomnia, resists Psychic and has a huge Special Defense stat. Chimecho can only hope to beat it one on one with a move such as Toxic. Banette is on the same boat, although it doesn't have a resistance to Chimecho's Psychic attacks. Other powerful Dark types like Drapion or Absol are decent, altough they have to watch out for Hypnosis.
Types of Teams Chimecho Is Used On:
Chimecho learns the move Wish, so it is no surprise that he is used as a support Pokemon for most teams. Chimecho can also support your team by putting an opponent's Pokemon to sleep through the use of Hypnosis as well as setting up both Light Screen and Reflect.
In Depth:
http://www.pokesho.com/img_icon_us/i_chimecho.gifSupport@ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Def / 80 SpA / 60 SpD
Nature: Bold (+Def,-Atk)
- Knock Off / Hypnosis
- Psychic
- Wish / Reflect
- Thunder Wave / Heal Bell
Chimecho makes a fantastic supporter with the use of Wish and the defensive screens. With its impressive movepool it can really help your team in diffrent types of ways. Knock Off is a very useful move as it allows Chimecho to knock off an incoming Pokemon's Item, which can be very beneficial if it happens to be a Choice Band or a Choice Scarf. Chimecho also has a pretty decent base Special Attack. Chimecho can pass Wishes around to heal your team and can also use Heal Bell to clear your team from any unwanted status.

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 56 HP / 252 SpA / 200 Spe
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
- Trick
- Psychic
- Hidden Power Fighting
- Shadow Ball
This set is very useful as it can cripple many of Chimecho's counters. Pokemon like Hypno and Banette will not like being Tricked a Choice Scarf or Choice Specs. Psychic is your basic STAB move if you do not want to Trick away your item of choice just yet. Hidden Power Fighting and Shadow Ball give you unresisted type coverage and can aid in a late game sweep.

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 116 Def / 80 SpA / 60 SpD
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Shadow Ball / Signal Beam
- Energy Ball / Hidden Power Ground
Most people underestimate Chimecho's Calm Minding abilities. Don't be fooled though, as Chimecho's immunities and resistances can often let it set up a Calm Mind or two. Psychic is your basic STAB move to destroy any Fighting-types you may encounter. Shadow Ball or Signal Beam can both be used in the third slot. While Shadow Ball hits other Psychic types, Signal Beam allows Chimecho to hit the Dark types that are bound to switch in. The choice for the last slot is up to preference. Energy Ball will hit bulky Water-types, while Hidden Power Ground lets you smack around those Steel-types that would otherwise wall this set.

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/ 116 Def / 80 SpA / 60 SpD
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
- Hypnosis
- Thunder Wave
- Wish / Recover
- Psychic
Chimecho's support movepool is wide, and this set aims to take advantage of that. Hypnosis will put any Pokemon that doesn't have the Ability Insomnia to sleep, while Thunder Wave will paralyze any foe that isn't a Ground-type. The choice between Wish and Recover is tricky; while Wish can heal your team, Recover grants Chimecho instant Recovery. Finally, Psychic is your sole STAB move of choice.
Other Options:
Dual-screen support Chimecho with Light Clay could help your team out as it could sponge special and physical attacks. A Trick Room set could be useful, but Chimecho simply does not have the power to inflict much damage. Grass Knot is an option to dispatch of Pokemon such as Gastrodon quickly.
Opinion:
Chimecho is a great Pokemon to use in the Never Used tier, as it provides steady support through the use of Thunder Wave, Wish, and Reflect and Light Screen. Even though Chimecho looks harmless, it could be a force to be reckoned with.
