In the fruit on its head, Smoliv stores oil made from nutrients it gathers through photosynthesis. Lechonk uses its sense of smell to find and eat only the most fragrant wild grasses and the richest Berries. As a result of its dining habits, it has come to radiate an aroma resembling herbs that Bug-type Pokémon dislike. It may appear fat at first glance, but in reality, the Pokémon’s body is mostly muscle built by constantly walking around in search of food. It generates electricity by rubbing its cheeks, then it shocks its opponents by touching them with the pads on its forepaws. When it feels uneasy, this cautious Pokémon will begin rubbing its cheeks, preparing itself to discharge an electric shock. In addition to the electric sacs in its cheeks, Pawmi has electricity-discharging organs on its forepaws.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet announcement sparks Lechonk fever (For The Win)

Lechonk is here and the internet has lost its collective mind. Here are some of the best memes and tweets about the round pig lad.

It’s just a round pig with a cute face and a funny name, the perfect fodder for farming likes on Twitter. The speed the artists move at these days terrifies me. The eyes, the tongue, the ears – his whole face just screams “normal type”. He’s just a normal man. But don’t worry about facts – there’s a new Pokemon and it’s a chonky pig. This time, the developers nailed it. He’s me, for real.

Just based on design, Koraidon looks more animalistic, with colorful features that likely indicate it will be a Fire and Dragon type.

The two Legendary Pokémon that will be appearing on the boxes for Scarlet and Violet are called Koraidon and Miraidon, though little is known about either of the reptile-like creatures.

Pokémon Scarlet And Violet's Crying Lechonk Would Be Great On A ... (Kotaku)

I'm sure the three new Pokémon—Lechonk, Smoliv, and Pawmi—are all great in battle, but only one looks rich in protein.

This is Lechonk’s namesake—this is its destiny. This is the way it has to be. But the Pokémon Company discourages us from devouring Smoliv, which somehow weighs 14.3 pounds (potentially implying that Smoliv has 14 pounds of bones), and notes on its website that the oil Smoliv produces “has a very strong bitter taste, and it is not suitable for consumption.”

During a particularly intense, kayfabe-skirting monologue by AEW star Maxwell Jacob Friedman, a quick shot of the crowd at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California revealed an attendee holding up a large sign emblazoned with the crying hog Pokémon’s name and a unique piece of fan art. The open-world games, coming to Switch on November 18, have a lot going for them: two hot, new professors, a legendary Pokémon that looks like a dick, and of course Lechonk, the adorable piglet with the silly name that stole everyone’s hearts ( and stomachs).
