Overview

To onlookers, Smoochum would appear to be rather vain Pokémon; they constantly check their reflections in ice or water to see if they have gotten dirty and will spend copious amounts of time cleaning themselves if they have. However, keeping clean is important to Smoochum because their skin is very sensitive; even mild irritants such as stray dirt can cause them to break out in rashes. Their lips are particularly delicate; they use them as their main method of gathering information about their surroundings. When they come across something foreign, their first instinct is to run up to it (though they are rather clumsy and often fall) and kiss it. This is also how it cleans objects prior to touching them, smooching them and then licking the dirt off of its lips. Smoochum can distinguish and remember thousands of different objects based on their textures and taste from their lips alone. They then categorize these things into what they like and dislike. As they walk, they bob their heads back and forth constantly, as if they were about to kiss someone. They dislike heat and will become cranky and irritable when uncomfortably warm. In the wild, Smoochum keep their lips moisturized by applying tree sap.
