Lechonk

Lechonk (Japanese: グルトン, HepburnGuruton) (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.

    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".
