'''Liko's Sprigatito''' (Japanese: '''リコのニャオハ''' ''Liko's Nyahoja'') was the [[first partner Pokémon]] that [[Liko]] obtained at the beginning of her {{pkmn|journey}}, given to her in the [[Indigo Academy]]. She is usually seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside]] her {{i|Poké Ball}}.

Sprigatito is capable of releasing a sweet scent from her paws that relaxes those who smell it. As shown in her battle against [[Zirc]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}, it is strong enough to put a Pokémon to sleep in the middle of a battle. This was shown again when Sprigatito used her sweet scent to calm a {{rf|Galarian}}{{p|Moltres}} down, although she had help from [[Friede]] and Roy's Pokémon. Sunbathing will strengthen the power of her sweet scent. She has also been shown using {{m|Leafage}} to blind opponents on multiple occasions as a way to circumvent her lack of raw strength. Sprigatito also has come to enjoy battling and developed a desire to become stronger. Although, Sprigatito was afraid of her own strength, as she fears causing serious harm to her friends, and was insecure with herself. However, through Liko's support and encouragement, Sprigatito let go of her fear and became more confident in herself.
