Icetle (Pokémon)

**Smoochum** (Japanese: **ムチュール** *Muchul*) is a dual-type Template:2t baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Jynx starting at level 30.

## Biology

Smoochum is a small, humanoid Pokémon that resembles a baby. It has a large head with blonde hair that reaches its shoulders and has large bangs. There are several tufts of hair sticking up on top of its head. Its skin is light purple with a cream-colored chest, arms, and feet. It has large, blue-green eyes and a pair of large, pink lips. These lips are sensitive enough that Smoochum uses them to identify and examine objects that it sees for the first time, and are kept moist by its daily application of tree sap.

When walking, Smoochum rocks its head back and forth. This Pokémon is very active and runs about, although it often falls. Being very conscious of its appearance, it will check its reflection when given the chance to make sure it is not dirty. Smoochum is found living in Template:DL and cold caverns. Smoochum is a female-only species, with no male counterpart.

## Icetle (Pokémon)

, Smoochum is programmed to be able to learn Lovely Kiss through Template:Pkmn, but no male Pokémon in the Template:Egg2 can legitimately learn it to pass down as an Egg Move in those games. In Generation VI, Jynx would have been able to pass down the move due to changes in breeding mechanics allowing mothers to pass down Egg Moves.
* Smoochum has the lowest base Template:Stat and Template:Stat stats of all Ice-type Pokémon.
	+ Smoochum is tied with Abra for having the lowest base Defense stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.

### Origin

Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 *Template:Wp*, blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. Template:Wp, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Smoochum could also be based on the legend of Template:Wp, a human child raised by the Template:Wp, another possible origin of Jynx.

#### Name origin

Smoochum may be derived from *smooch* (a Template:Wp) and possibly *chum* (friend). It may also be a pun on "smooch 'em."

Muchul may be a combination of 夢中 *muchū* (daze or trance) and ちゅう *chu* (the sound of a kiss).
