Biology

It likes clean air because it uses photosynthesis like a plant, and its cells were found to be just like plants too. It is not one to fight, but if it has to, it can sharpen its tail enough to cut large trees. Galarian people favor the distinctive aroma that drifts from this Pokémon's leaves, and there is a popular perfume made using that scent.

The younger they are, the more they smell like fresh grass. With age, their fragrance takes on the odor of fallen leaves.
