Nuzleaf (Japanese: コノハナ Konohana) is a dual-type Grass/Dark Pokémon.

It evolves from Seedot starting at level 14, and evolves into Shiftry via Template:Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Nuzleaf is more humanoid than Seedot. Its thighs are bulky, and it has two small black dots on its chest. Its nose is pointed and has a light brown "mask", and it sports a leaf on its head.

Gender differences

A female has a smaller leaf on her head.

Special abilities

Because Nuzleaf have Grass and Dark type characteristics, they are able to use Grass and Dark type moves. They are also able to use Extrasensory. Nuzleaf also have the ability to use leaves as a form of sound that can confuse people and Pokémon. Although not fully evolved, Nuzleaf are able to learn Hyper Beam, but not Giga Impact.

Behavior

When in the wild, Nuzleaf tend to be pranksters, playing tricks on any Trainer or Pokémon who pass by their turf. Nuzleaf dislikes having its long nose pinched, and loses power if it is gripped for its nose is its weak point. Nuzleaf, dwelling in forests, is skilled at climbing trees.

Habitat

Nuzleaf live deep within densely overgrown forests, in holes bored in large trees.

In the anime

Nuzleaf in the anime

Nuzleaf first appeared in Turning Over a Nuzleaf. When Pikachu, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Silcoon, Lotad and Corphish get separated from Ash, May, Brock and Max and got lost in a forest, these wily Pokémon caused trouble for them.

More Nuzleaf appeared in Jump For Joy and lived in an old tree with Seedot and Shiftry. One of them was sick and required attention from Nurse Joy.

A colony of Seedot and Nuzleaf appeared in Leave it to Brocko!. One of the Nuzleaf got separated from its colony and Brock and Sudowoodo had to bring it home before Team Rocket could steal it. This Nuzleaf also seemed to be fast friends with Brock's Sudowoodo, even when Sudowoodo was a Bonsly.

Yōko of the Eterna Gym owns a Nuzleaf. In The Grass-Type is Always Greener, when Gardenia was traveling in the Eterna Forest, it brought her a note summoning her back to the Gym. It was seen again in The Grass Menagerie! alongside its trainer.

A Nuzleaf made a cameo appearance in Camping It Up!.

Trivia

  • Nuzleaf's Defense stat is lower than that of its pre-evolved form, Seedot. Additionally, Defense is tied for Nuzleaf's lowest stat, where as Defense is Seedot's highest stat.
  • Despite some of Nuzleaf's Pokédex entries saying that it uses the leaf on its head as a flute, Nuzleaf cannot legitimately learn GrassWhistle.
  • Despite its use of its leaf as a tool for self-defense in the anime, Nuzleaf could not legally learn Razor Leaf until Generation IV.

Origin

Nuzleaf is probably based on an acorn, 天狗 Tengu, tricky Japanese goblins who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds, and possibly on Pinnochio.

Name origin

Nuzleaf's name may be a combination of nuzzle or nose and leaf. Its Japanese name is literally 巨の鼻 konohana, big nose, but more formally seems to be a combination of 木の葉 konoha, leaves, and 鼻 hana, nose or 花 hana, flower. Konohana may also be この 花 kono hana, this flower.

In other languages

  • German: Blanas - Combination of Blad (brat, referring to its disruptive nature) or Blatt (Leaf) and Nase (nose).
  • French: Pifeuil - From pif (a slang term for both nose and olfaction), and feuille (leaf).
  • Korean: 잎새코 Ipsaeko
