Strategy Overview
The pre-evolution of everyone's favorite Pokemon, Smoochum is rather interesting with its unique Psychic / Ice typing. It has a very good offensive typing for dealing with common Fighting-, Flying-, and Poison-types in the tier. It has the highest Special Attack stat of any Ice-type in the tier. Smoochum's ability, Oblivious, means it cannot be affected by Taunt, and it can take advantage of this with setup moves such as Substitute and Nasty Plot. It also has a decent 17 Speed. However, there are some downsides to using this little cutie. It has absolutely terrible defenses, and anything with a super effective move will probably take it out. On top of this, its Ice typing leaves it weak to entry hazards. Unlike its evolution, Jynx, it does not have access to Lovely Kiss. Along with its poor defenses, Smoochum is also plagued with terrible weaknesses to the common Dark-, Bug-, Fire-, Rock-, Steel-, and Ghost-types, and only resists Psychic- and Ice-type moves.
