Lechonk (Japanese: グルトン, Hepburn: Guruton) (leh-CHAHNK[1]) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
Biology
Physiology
Lechonk is a small, plump, black swine-like Pokémon with brown patches on the tips of its ears and on its face with yellow tear-like markings beneath its eyes. It has a large triangular pink snout and small pink hooves.
Behavior
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 Pokémon dislike. If attacked by an opponent and startled, it will charge forward in a panic. 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.
Natural Abilities
Evolution
Lechonk evolves into Oinkologne at level 18.

Trivia
- Lechonk and female Oinkologne are the only Pokémon that can have Aroma Veil as a Regular Ability instead of a Hidden Ability.
- Despite its chubby appearance being stated to be due to muscle rather than fat, Lechonk can still have the ability Thick Fat.
Origin
Lechonk appears to be based on a young Black Iberian pig, a breed of domestic pig that is often herded in the Iberian Peninsula. It also resembles a piggy bank.
Etymology
Lechonk may originate from lechón, the Spanish word for "suckling pig" or "piglet", "oink", the onomatopoeia for a pig's cry, and "chonk", a slang term used for fat but cute animals.
Guruton may originate from "glutton", "ton", and ton, the Japanese word for "pig".
