Smoochum is a small, humanoid Pokémon that resembles a baby. It has a large head with blonde hair that reaches its shoulders and has large bangs. There are several tufts of hair sticking up on top of its head. Its skin is light purple with a cream-colored chest, arms, and feet. It has large, blue-green eyes and a pair of large, pink lips. These lips are sensitive enough that Smoochum uses them to identify and examine objects that it sees for the first time, and are kept moist by its daily application of tree sap. This help Smoochum determine if it likes the object or not.
When walking, Smoochum rocks its head back and forth. Smoochum is known to be very curious. This Pokémon is very active and runs about, although it often falls. Being very conscious of its appearance, it will check its reflection when given the chance to make sure it is not dirty. It will bathe the instant its it find any dirt on its face. However, it doesn't mind if its body get dirty. Smoochum is found living in cities and cold caverns. Smoochum is a female-only species, with no male counterpart.

Origin and inspiration[]
Smoochum may be based on ganguro, blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. Yuki-onna, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Smoochum could also be based on the legend of Kintarō, a human child raised by the Yama-uba, another possible origin of Jynx.
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.

In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Smoochum is programmed to be able to learn Lovely Kiss through breeding, but no male Pokémon in the Human-Like Group can legitimately learn it to pass down as an Egg Move in those games. In Generation VI, Jynx would have been able to pass down the move due to changes in breeding mechanics allowing mothers to pass down Egg Moves.
Smoochum has the lowest base Defense stat of all Ice-type Pokémon.
