Smoochum Description

Smoochum is the baby form of Jynx. It is an Ice and Psychic-type Pokemon known for its curious behavior, high Special Attack for a baby Pokemon and evolution into Jynx starting at Level 30.

Competitive Overview

Is Smoochum Good in Competitive?

Smoochum is usually not a major competitive Pokemon in standard formats because it is a baby Pokemon with low bulk and limited overall stats. Its main value is as part of the Jynx evolution line or in formats that specifically allow baby Pokemon.

Smoochum’s best strengths are its Ice and Psychic STAB options, useful support moves and solid Special Attack for its stage. It has to be protected carefully because Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Fire and Dark-type attacks can all threaten it.
