Smoochum Weakness

Type-wise, Smoochum takes extra damage from Fire, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dark, and Steel. Smoochum's special bulk (base 65 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Sun & Moon Smoochum Best Moveset

Best Build

No build content available for this Pokemon in Gen 7.

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.

Moves

Breeding's the move. Captivate and Fake Out give Smoochum options it can't learn any other way, and Normal and Ghost coverage and more already covers a decent range on top of Blizzard and Dream Eater. The egg moves push it further.
