Meet Lechonk, the Hog Pokémon! 🐷

It may appear fat at first glance, but in reality, the Pokémon’s body is mostly muscle built by constantly walking around in search of food.

Lechonk is also described as “a gourmand with an excellent nose” which “uses its sense of smell to find and eat only the most fragrant wild grasses and the richest Berries. As a result of its dining habits, it has come to radiate an aroma resembling herbs that bug Pokémon dislike.”

Look forward to the game when it comes out for the Switch on November 18! – Rappler.com
