Stats & Training
Sp. Atk and Sp. Def carry most of Smoochum's stat budget. Defense's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 1 Sp. Atk EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
When it examines things, before touching them with its hands, it makes lip contact and then diligently licks all the dirt off its lips.
Highly perceptive sensors, Smoochum’s lips are kept moist by its daily application of tree sap.
Smoochum Weakness
Type-wise, Smoochum takes extra damage from Fire, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dark, and Steel. Smoochum's special bulk (base 65 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
