Nacli (Japanese:コジオKojio) is aRock-typePokémon introduced inGeneration IX.

Itevolves intoNaclstack starting atlevel 24, which evolves intoGarganacl starting at level 38.

Biology

Nacli is a Pokémon composed of rock salt. Its upper body is rugged and brown, with an off-white stripe circling it, while its lower body is a white salt cube with rectangular orange-yellow eyes that can glow red. A white salt cube is embedded on the top half of its body as well.

Nacli are born deep within the earth, inside layers of rock salt. Bits of salt are scraped off of Nacli as it travels the ground, although Nacli is able to create and replenish the salt inside its body. The rear corners of Nacli's lower body are rounded as a result of this scraping^[1]. The trails left behind by Nacli have been called "salt roads" since ancient times. As revealed inThe Terapagos I Don't Know, Nacli lived inPaldean lands since ancient times, forming bonds with humans. In the same episode, it is also thought that Nacli used to help humans in warding off evil spirits for hundreds of years. In the past, it was treasured by people who would use its salt; even today, Nacli salt is still used infoods such as ice cream, because it has a gentle flavor.

Nacli and itsEvolutions are theonly known Pokémon that can havePurifying Salt as anAbility.

Trivia

• Nacli's evolutionary line was designed byHitoshi Ariga.^[2]
• Nacli was briefly shown in a pre-release trailer on6 October 2022 alongsideTandemaus andSquawkabilly, though it remained officially unrevealed until the release ofPokémon Scarlet and Violet.
• Nacli is tied withRoggenrola andRockruff for the lowest base stat total of allRock-type Pokémon.

Origin

Nacli is based on arock salt crystal embedded in a smallsedimentary rock.^[3] Its body shape resembles mushrooms, particularly those of theAgaricus bisporus variety. Considering that it originated underground, it might also draw inspiration fromtruffles. Additionally, its mushroom shape may be a reference tomushroom rocks, which are naturally occurring rock formations.

The scraping of its body along the ground leaving salt trails might be a literal interpretation ofsalt roads, trade routes upon which salt was transported to foreign markets. Its glowing eyes may be based onHimalayan salt lamps.

Name origin

Nacli may be a combination ofNaCl (chemical formula forsodium chloride; table salt) andlittle orsalty. The-i at the end of its name may also refer toiodine, a common element added to salt to prevent iodine deficiency.

Kojio may be a combination of 小ko (small) or 子ko (child), 塩shio (salt), andgeo- (prefix for earth).
