Nuzleaf (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

*Nuzleaf's {{stat|Defense}} stat is lower than that of its pre-evolved form, Seedot. Additionally, Defense is tied for Nuzleaf's lowest stat, whereas Defense is Seedot's highest stat.

*Despite some of Nuzleaf's Pokédex entries saying that it uses the leaf on its head as a flute, Nuzleaf cannot legitimately learn {{m|GrassWhistle}}.

*A Nuzleaf with a face similar to {{wp|John Locke (Lost)|John Locke}} is a recurring character in the [[Nuzlocke]] webcomic series and the unofficial mascot of the infamous Nuzlocke Challenge in general.

Nuzleaf is probably based on an {{wp|acorn}}, 天狗 ''{{wp|tengu}}'', tricky Japanese goblins who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds, and possibly on {{wp|Pinocchio}}. Nuzleaf's shiny color, combined with it pointed nose, makes it very similar to a Red Pikmin from the {{wp|Pikmin (series)|Pikmin series}}. It could also simply be a reference that tengu are often depicted with red faces.
