Pawmi, Lechonk, Smoliv detailed for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

The Pokemon Company has detailed some of the new Pokemon that have been shown off for the first time as part of the upcoming Scarlet and Violet games with a specific focus on Pawmi, Lechonk, and Smoliv.

Here’s a rundown of each:

Pawmi

In addition to the electric sacs in its cheeks, Pawmi has electricity-discharging organs on its forepaws. It generates electricity by rubbing its cheeks, then it shocks its opponents by touching them with the pads on its forepaws.

The fur that covers its body is good insulation against the cold and serves the purpose of storing electricity. When it feels uneasy, this cautious Pokémon will begin rubbing its cheeks, preparing itself to discharge an electric shock.

Category: Mouse Pokémon
Type: Electric
Height: 1′
Weight: 5.5 lbs.
Ability: Static / Natural Cure

Lechonk

Lechonk uses its sense of smell to find and eat only the most fragrant wild grasses and the richest Berries. As a result of its dining habits, it has come to radiate an aroma resembling herbs that Bug-type Pokémon dislike. If attacked by an opponent and startled, it will charge forward in a panic.

It may appear fat at first glance, but in reality, the Pokémon’s body is mostly muscle built by constantly walking around in search of food.

Category: Hog Pokémon
Type: Normal
Height: 1’8″
Weight: 22.5 lbs.
Ability: Aroma Veil / Gluttony

Smoliv

The oil that comes out of its head has a very strong bitter taste, and it is not suitable for consumption.
When startled or attacked, Smoliv will shoot this oil out, slowing its opponent down. It will then seize that moment to run away.

In the fruit on its head, Smoliv stores oil made from nutrients it gathers through photosynthesis. As a result, it can go for a week without eating or drinking. It prefers dry and sunny climates, and it seems to spend its days sunbathing.

Category: Olive Pokémon
Type: Grass/Normal
Height: 1′
Weight: 14.3 lbs.
Ability: Early Bird

Other than Pawmi, Lechonk, and Smoliv, Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet will also feature Koraidon and Miraidon as two new Legendary Pokemon. More information about them will be shared at a later date.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launch for Switch on November 18, 2022. Watch a new trailer here.
