Pyukumuku (Japanese: ナマコブシ, Hepburn: Namakobushi) is a water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
Biology
Physiology
Pyukumuku is a marine Pokémon with an ovoid, black body. Its face has two beady, pink eyes and a white mouth shaped roughly like a star or Daimonji. Two lines of three pink spikes run down each side of its back. The middle spike of each line is about twice as long as the others are. A fluffy white puff forms its tail.
Behavior
Pyukumuku hates when its spikes and mouth are touched, and they will spit out their organs when someone steps on them. If stepped on, it will expel its fist-like organs and smack the perpetrator. Pyukumuku tends to find a spot it likes and stay there, even returning to the same spot if moved. Once all the food in its favorite spot has been consumed, it will continue to stay there to the point of starvation.
Natural abilities
Pyukumuku is capable of spitting its organs out through its mouth. The white organs can take different shapes, such as a fist. Its body is coated with a viscous fluid that allows it to stay on land for a week without drying out. This fluid is also beneficial to people as a moisturizer.
