Gen 5 Pokémon Cubchoo is, without question, the most disgusting pocket monster of all. Its revolting tendril of boogey dangling from its nose makes me want to gag, and there’s just no excuse. Use a tissue, you Charmin reject.

So it is that the games have really leaned in. White’s was particularly grim, saying, “It sniffs the snot back up because the mucus provides the raw material for its moves.” In Sword we were told, “It will smear its snot on anyone it doesn’t like.” Now in Scarlet we’re told:

If a Cubchoo lacks dangling snot, there’s a chance it is sick.

But Violet makes it much worse, saying,

When Cubchoo starts sneezing, watch out! If it spatters you with its frosty snot, you’ll get frostbite.

I think I’d welcome frostbite’s freezing demise if I’d had that wretched creature sneeze on me. No shower could ever make that go away.
