Chingling is the 433rd Pokémon in the series and was introduced in the fourth generation of the game (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver). Just as the name suggests, Chingling looks like a collar bell—having a circular gold body and a red-and-white ear-like protrusion on its head. Unlike other Pokémon that evolves using stones or by leveling up, Chingling is a little bit complicated to evolve unless you know the proper way to do it.
Steps
Part 1 Part 1 of 2:
Maxing Out Chingling's Happiness Level
Download Article
Chingling only evolves when its Happiness level is above 220. To max out Chingling’s Happiness, you need to do the following:
1 Make Chingling hold a Soothe Bell. Soothe Bell is a kind of held item that gives off special effects to the Pokémon using it. Soothe Bells can be obtained from different places, depending on your game version:
Route 212 Mansion (Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum)
National Park (HeartGold and SoulSilver)
2 Feed Chingling Berries. Berries are items in the Pokémon world that when fed to a Pokémon, gives off special effects, like curing poison or restoring HP.
Berries like the Ginema Berry, a yellow cone-like berry found in the game, can raise a lowered stat, such as the Happiness.

3 Have Pokémon massages. You can find a massage house in Veilstone City (Diamond and Pearl) right beside the Pokémon Gym. Go inside the house and talk to the blond girl inside the room. She will offer you a massage for your Pokémon. Simply select “Yes” and choose Chingling from the list.

1 Wait for nighttime. Once you max the Chingling’s Happiness level, wait for night to come. You have to wait until night because, based on the game mechanics, Chingling can only evolve during nighttime.
Starting from the fourth generation, the in-game time depends on your device’s clock or the real-world time. nighttime in the game starts at 8:00 PM and ends on 3:59 AM.
If you want the night to come faster, you can adjust your device’s system clock.
2 Level up Chingling. When night arrives, go out and make Chingling level up. Go out and do Pokémon battles using Chingling until it levels up (at least once).
You can do any kind of Pokémon battle (either fighting trainers or wild Pokémon) as long as Chingling wins and gain XP.
Once Chingling levels up, it will evolve into its adult form: Chimecho.
If Chingling doesn’t evolve, make sure that its Happiness level is at least 220. You can max out the Happiness level (255) just to make sure.

Tips
Chingling is a psychic-type Pokémon and is very effective against fighting types. To make it easier when trying to level up during the night, fight these types of Pokémon to get quick wins. Thanks Helpful 2 Not Helpful 0
You cannot force Chingling to evolve; you can’t use any cheats or evolution stones. Chingling doesn’t benefit from any kind of evolution stones to forcibly grow it. Unless the three conditions above are met all together, you won’t be able to evolve Chingling even with any kind of cheats. Thanks Helpful 2 Not Helpful 0
