Hello there! Welcome to Professor Jacob's 238th lesson on Pokémon biology. And in this lesson, we will be discussing Smoochum: the Kiss Pokémon and pre-evolved form of Jynx. Smoochum is categorized as such because its lips are very sensitive, and it uses them to examine objects. As unsanitary as that might sound, Smoochum actually hates being dirty and will regularly check its reflection to make sure its face is clean. And to keep its lips nice and moist, Smoochum regularly applies tree sap. Looks like Mr. Kurtis isn't the only sapsucker we know. And there's more to learn about Smoochum, so lock in and take notes!►Support the Professor's class on Patreon:⁠ ⁠patreon.com/wwopokemon⁠⁠►Join our Discord:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://discord.gg/Jc5P2Mk6Ru⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Other Social Media:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://linktr.ee/wwopokemon
