Biology

Smoochum is a baby Pokémon and the pre-evolution of Jynx. It is depicted as being pink with a pouty expression on its face. It uses its lips to understand the world around it, kissing everything it comes into contact with.

It is clumsy, oftentimes tripping over after running, causing it to check its reflection to make sure it has no mud on its face.

Design & origin

Smoochum's name is a combination of "smooch" and "them".
