Trivia
- Nuzleaf's Defense stat is lower than that of its pre-evolved form, Seedot.
- Despite some of Nuzleaf's Pokédex entries saying that it uses the leaf on its head as a flute, Nuzleaf cannot learn GrassWhistle.
- A Nuzleaf with the face of Lost character John Locke is a recurring character in the Nuzlocke webcomic series and serves as the unofficial mascot of the Nuzlocke Challenge.
Origin
Nuzleaf is probably based on an acorn, 天狗 tengu, tricky Japanese goblins who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds, and possibly on Pinocchio.
Name origin
Nuzleaf may be a combination of nuzzle or nose and leaf.
Konohana is literally 巨の鼻 konohana (big nose), but it may also be a combination of 木の葉 konoha (leaves) and 鼻 hana (nose).
