Nuzleaf (Japanese: コノハナ Konohana) is a dual-type Grass/Dark Pokémon.

It evolves from Seedot starting at level 14 and evolves into Shiftry when exposed to a Leaf Stone.

Biology

Nuzleaf is a bipedal Pokémon with a single green leaf atop its head. The leaf is smaller on the female. This Pokémon is mostly brown with a beige mask marking on its face. Its bulky thighs are also beige and have thin striations, and there are what appear to be two nipples on its chest. It has thin arms with mitten-like hands. If its long, pointed nose is grabbed, Nuzleaf will lose its power.

Using the leaf on its head as a flute, it makes music with leaves that creates a sense of unease in people. However, it can also play comforting melodies. Nuzleaf lives in forests and is skilled at climbing, but it will come out of the forest to frighten people. It has an odd power that manifests as the move Extrasensory; its former signature move.

Major appearances

Trivia

Origin

Nuzleaf may be based on an acorn, and possibly on Pinocchio. They may also be based on 天狗 tengu, tricky Japanese goblins who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, ability to read minds, and the ranks of 小天狗 ko-tengu, tengu of lesser rank. Its tendency to use a flute to cause fear in others is reminiscent of Pan, the Greek god of nature, who played reed pipes and was known for the ability to strike inherent terror into the hearts of others.

Name origin

Nuzleaf may be a combination of nuzzle or nose and leaf.

Konohana is a combination of 木の葉 konoha (leaves) and 鼻 hana (nose). It may also literally be 巨の鼻 konohana (big nose).
