Chimecho can be found around the Crystal Pool. However, it spawns much less often than Chingling.
The Pokemon CompanyHow to evolve Chingling into Chimecho
Chingling evolves into Chimecho by leveling up with high friendship at night.
To raise friendship with a Pokemon, you’ll need to spend some time with it. Consider catching your Chingling in a Luxury or Friend Ball to make the process go faster. A Soothe Bell also helps speed things up.
From there, you can walk around with Chingling in your party, give it items, let it out for auto-battles, and wash it during picnics. Battling also helps, though letting the Pokemon get knocked out will decrease friendship.
To check how friendly your Pokemon is, you’ll need to head to Cascarrafa. In the center of the city north of the fountain, you’ll find the Friendship Checker standing with her Marill. She’ll give you a vague idea of how close you are. Once she says “You’re good friends, all right!” you’re either close or able to evolve.
After that, simply level up at night to trigger the evolution. Since Scarlet and Violet’s day-night cycle is about 72 minutes, you may have a wait about half an hour or so.
