Smoliv [Edit] [Talk]

Smoliv is a Grass/Normal type Pokémon in the franchise of the same name. It was introduced in the ninth generation of Pokémon series. It evolves into Dolliv at level 25 and then into Arboliva.

Physiology and Behavior

Smoliv is a small Pokémon which is an olive. It has a round green body with two stubby legs. It has beady black eyes with white pupils and a jagged mouth. A few leaves surround a yellow fruit with a hole on top of its body.

In the fruit on its head, Smoliv stores a very bitter and astringent oil made from nutrients it gathers through photosynthesis, and as a result, it can go for a week without eating or drinking. The oil Smoliv stores is not suitable for consumption. When startled or attacked, Smoliv will shoot this oil out, slowing its opponent down, and then it will run away. It prefers dry and sunny climates, and it seems to spend its time sunbathing.
