Trivia

  • The colors used in Smoochum's Generation II shiny sprite are the colors used in the normal-colored sprites afterwards, similar to Elekid and, to a lesser degree, Aipom.
  • Smoochum's official artwork shows it having a purple head and lower chest, however the anime and its game sprites show them as being pink.
  • Smoochum and its evolution, Jynx, are the only Pokémon that can learn Avalanche via leveling up.

Origin

Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 ganguro, blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. It should be also noted that Yuki Onna, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Or, Smoochum could be based on the legend of Kintarō, a human child raised by the Yama Uba, another possible origin of Jynx.

Name origin

Smoochum's name is based on smooch, or kiss. It also appears to be a combination of smooch and chum, meaning friend. It may also be a pun on smooch 'em. Its Japanese name is based on 夢中 muchū, daze or trance, and ちゅう chu, the sound of a kiss.

In other languages

  • German: Kussilla - From Kuss (kiss).
  • French: Lippouti - Combination of the English word lip and poutou (kiss).
  • Korean: 뽀뽀라 Ppoppora - Includes 뽀뽀 Ppoppo (a small peck or kiss).
