Chinchou has a pair of antennae which evolved from a fin. Both antennae are filled with strong cells which generate electricity in positive and negative charges. When in danger, Chinchou releases this electricity to faint its foes. They live primarily in the dark depths of the ocean, where they communicate by flashing their lights as signals. It evolves into Lanturn at Level 27.

*In the Pokémon anime, Chinchou was featured in an episode of the Johto series which revolved around an annual Chinchou Parade. A trainer named Dayton owned the Chinchou leading the parade, which was called Bright. The Chinchou were shown to be capable of walking on land with their lower fins acting as feet. The Chinchou, including Bright, were all released into the ocean at the end of the episode, after helping to foil [[Team Rocket]]. Chinchou have made various other primarily minor appearances throughout the series, and in one case one was used by [[Misty]]'s opponent at the Whirl Cup.
 
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Chinchou made a brief appearance when [[Gold]] encountered several while searching for his [[Poliwag]] in the ''Gold''/''Silver''/''Crystal'' arc. [[Misty]] was later shown to own one which she used to illuminate Tohjo Falls.
 
 
 
=Trivia=
 
 
 
*Its name is a play on "chochin" (the Japanese word for "lantern") in reference to the "chochin-anko", the Japanese name for the footballfish which is a deep sea fish similar to the angler fish.
