Pyukumuku • Generation VIII Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

Thank you for your interest in having the Marriland Pokédex updated to support Pokémon Scarlet & Violet! This has been something that I've been wanting to update for awhile, and it is my current project to implement support for the new games and The Teal Mask DLC. Thank you for your patience as I work on this over the coming week or two!

Pyukumuku's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Pyukumuku's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Pyukumuku's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Pyukumuku is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Pokédex Entries for Pyukumuku

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Sword
It lives in warm, shallow waters. If it encounters a foe, it will spit out its internal organs as a means to punch them.
Shield
It's covered in a slime that keeps its skin moist, allowing it to stay on land for days without drying up.

Generation 7 Pokédex Entries

Sun
It lives in shallow seas, such as areas near a beach. It can eject its internal organs, which it uses to engulf its prey or battle enemies.
Moon
These Pokémon line the beaches. The sticky mucous that covers their bodies can be used to soothe sunburned skin. How convenient!
Ultra Sun
The tradition known as Pyukumuku chucking started from the custom of throwing Pyukumuku back into the sea after they wash onshore.
Ultra Moon
Its entire body is covered in its own slime. If you accidentally step on one, you'll slip, and it will get mad and smack you!
