Stats & Training
Sp. Atk and Sp. Def carry most of Smoochum's stat budget. Defense's the obvious dump stat. Tough to catch and yields 1 Sp. Atk EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Smoochum actively runs about, but also falls quite often. Whenever the chance arrives, it will look for its reflection to make sure its face hasn’t become dirty.
