What a beautiful face, I have found in this place
[OVERVIEW]
Chimchar is most commonly used as a suicide lead with Fake Out and Stealth Rocks while holding Focus Sash. However, its mediocre stats and its use as a suicide lead leave it as a poor choice for a Stealth Rocks setter. More defensive hazard setters such as Onix and Ferroseed outclass it, and common hazard removers such as Snivy, Vullaby, and Staryu make Chimchar into a bad teammate. Chimchar could also run an Iron Fist set, but that is heavily outclassed by Timburr as an Iron Fist user and Ponyta as an offensive Fire-type.

Chimchar's best set is a suicide lead set that seeks to live thanks to Focus Sash, set up Stealth Rocks, and then hopefully take down something with a powerful Overheat. Suicide leads in general in the current metagame are not a great idea due to there being many common hazard removers on most teams, such as Defog from Snivy and Vullaby or Rapid Spin from Staryu. More defensive hazard setters such as Onix and Ferroseed that can set up hazards more consistently and throughout the game outclass Chimchar.
