Smoochum (Japanese: ムチュール Muchul) is a dual-type Ice/Psychic baby Pokémon.
She evolves into Jynx starting at level 30.
Biology
Smoochum is a small, humanoid Pokémon that resembles a baby. She has a large head with blonde hair that reaches her shoulders and has large bangs. There are several tufts of hair sticking up on top of her head. Her skin is light purple skin with a cream-colored chest, arms and feet. She 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 she sees for the first time.
When walking, Smoochum rocks her head back and forth. This Pokémon is very active and runs about, although she often falls. Being very conscious of her appearance, she will check is reflection when given the chance to make sure she is not dirty. Smoochum is found living in cities. Smoochum is exclusively female, with no male counterpart.

Trivia
- Jessie seems to have an obsession with Smoochum, as seen in many episodes such as Three Jynx and a Baby.
- Although classified as pink in the Pokédex, it has been depicted as purple on several occasions, including the Pokémon mini console modeled after it.
Origin
Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 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.
Name origin
Smoochum is derived from smooch (a kiss). It also may be a combination of smooch and chum (friend). It may also be a pun on "smooch 'em."
Muchul is a combination of 夢中 muchū (daze or trance) and ちゅう chu (the sound of a kiss).
