Surskit is a blue insectoid Pokémon. There are semicircular pink markings under its dark, circular eyes. It has a round body with four long, skinny legs extending from it. On top of its head is a yellow cap with a single antenna that secretes a thick, sugary syrup or a sweet scent. The syrup is exuded as a defense mechanism, while the scent can attract prey. This Pokémon can also secrete oil from the tips of its feet, which enables it to walk on water as though skating. Surskit inhabits ponds, rivers, and similar wetlands, where it feeds on microscopic, aquatic organisms. However, it sometimes appears in puddles after a rainstorm. In its natural habitat, Surskit has been known to compete with Dewpider over food.
Major appearances

A Surskit appeared in A Cacturne for the Worse, under the ownership of a Coordinator named Kent. He used it in the Purika Contest, where it went up against May's Bulbasaur. Surskit nearly defeated Bulbasaur due to Harley tricking May into thinking that Surskit was an extremely slow Pokémon.
