Cubchoo is known for the snot that hangs from its nose, which is crucial for its survival. This snot, when in good health, becomes thicker and stickier, serving as a protective and offensive tool. Its natural habitat includes cold, snowy regions where it can blend in with its environment. While its diet isn't explicitly detailed in the games, as an Ice-type, it likely thrives in ecosystems that support other snow-dwelling creatures. In the games, Cubchoo often appears in early routes of colder regions, providing players with an accessible Ice-type Pokémon. In the anime, Cubchoo has made several appearances, often depicted as playful but sometimes mischievous, particularly regarding its snot. Its type matchup makes it strong against Grass, Ground, Flying, and Dragon types, but weak to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel types. Cubchoo, with its endearing yet somewhat gross characteristic, holds a unique place in the Pokémon world, often seen as a symbol of winter and resilience in harsh environments.
