Smoliv

Smoliv is a Grass/Normal type Pokémon introduced in Generation 9.

The oil that comes out of its head has a very strong bitter taste, and it is not suitable for consumption. When startled or attacked, Smoliv will shoot this oil out, slowing its opponent down. It will then seize that moment to run away.
