The fur covering Skitnat is incredibly soft and fluffy, and if it is not cuddling its own tail, it will latch onto humans or other Pokémon. If Skitnat is attacked, it will ooze poison from its body so that the same fur becomes toxic to touch.
Its coat of thin, stiff hair that covers its entire body is said to have evolved for protection. A Skitnat's adorably cute behavior makes it highly popular.
