This is a very curious Pokémon. Smoochum decides what it likes and dislikes by touching things with its lips.
Shield
If its face gets even slightly dirty, Smoochum will bathe immediately. But if its body gets dirty, Smoochum doesn’t really seem to care.
Sword
Highly perceptive sensors, Smoochum’s lips are kept moist by its daily application of tree sap.
Ultra Moon
When it examines things, before touching them with its hands, it makes lip contact and then diligently licks all the dirt off its lips.
Ultra Sun
Its lips are the most sensitive part of its body. It always uses its lips first to examine things.
HeartGold · X
It tests everything by touching with its lips, which remember what it likes and dislikes.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2 · Y
It actively runs about, but also falls often. Whenever it falls, it will check its reflection on a lake’s surface to make sure its face hasn’t become dirty.
Emerald
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.
Ruby · Sapphire · Omega Ruby · Alpha Sapphire
The sensitivity of its lips develops most quickly. It uses them to try to identify unknown objects.
Crystal
It always rocks its head slowly backwards and for wards as if it is trying to kiss someone.
Silver · FireRed · SoulSilver
