Nuzleaf (Japanese:コノハナKonohana) is a dual-typeGrass/DarkPokémon introduced inGeneration III.

Itevolves fromSeedot starting atlevel 14 and evolves intoShiftry when exposed to aLeaf Stone.

Biology

Nuzleaf is a bipedalplantPokémon with a single green leaf atop its head. The leaf is smaller on the female. This Pokémon is mostly brown with a beige mask marking on its face. Its bulky thighs are also beige and have thin striations, and there are what appear to be two nipples on its chest. It has thin arms with mitten-like hands. If its long, pointed nose is grabbed, Nuzleaf will lose its power. The nose serves functions as a sensory.

Using the leaf on its head as a flute, it makes music with leaves that create a sense of unease in people. However, it can also play comforting melodies. Nuzleaf lives intropical forests and is skilled at climbing, but it will come out of the forest to frighten people. Nuzleaf uses a sound similar to a grass tune to warn wandering intruders.

InGeneration III,Extrasensory was itssignature move, but other Pokémon could still inherit it viabreeding.

Trivia

• Nuzleaf shares its category withImpidimp. They are both known as the Wily Pokémon.
• Despite several of Nuzleaf's Pokédex entries stating that it uses the leaf on its head as a flute, Nuzleaf has never been able to learn the moveGrass Whistle.

Origin

Nuzleaf appears to be based on a sproutingacorn and atengu, Japaneseyōkai with long noses who use their supernatural powers to protect forests and play cruel tricks on people. It may also be partly based on the similarly named shibatengu, childlike yōkai who wear little clothing and sumo wrestle with humans. Its habit of playing a grass flute is reminiscent ofPan, the Greek god of nature known for playing reed pipes. Its wooden, humanoid body and long nose are also reminiscent ofPinocchio.

Name origin

Nuzleaf may be a combination ofnuzzle (to rub with the nose) ornose andleaf.

Konohana may be a combination of 子ko (child), 木の葉konoha (leaves), and 鼻hana (nose). It may also come from the Konoha-Tengu, a type of weak Tengu that doesn't have many powers.
