Behavior and Habitat:

Lechonk is known for its excellent sense of smell, which it uses primarily to find food.
It is often found in grassy areas and near farms, where it forages for fragrant berries and roots.
Despite its somewhat timid and shy nature, Lechonk is very determined when it comes to finding food.
It can be startled easily but tends to calm down quickly when it feels safe.

In Battle:

Lechonk is known for its high defense relative to its overall stats, making it more suited to taking hits rather than dishing them out.
Notable moves include Tackle, Mud-Slap, and Snore, reflecting its Normal type and affinity for ground-based moves.
It is strong against Ghost-type moves as it is immune to them but weak against Fighting-type moves.
Utilizing status-inflicting moves can help maximize its defensive capabilities in battle.

Evolution:

Lechonk evolves into Oinkologne when it reaches a certain level.
The evolution process enhances its traits, making it bulkier and more resilient in battles.

Interesting Facts:

Lechonk's name is a playful combination of "lechón," which is Spanish for roasted pig, and "chonk," a colloquial term for something chubby or chunky.
Its design and behavior are inspired by domestic pigs, often associated with foraging and having a keen sense of smell.
Lechonk became an internet sensation upon its reveal, quickly gaining popularity due to its cute and relatable design.
