Behavior
Cubchoo uses the snot as its main weapon and its nose is constantly running. It inhales it and uses it for most of its attacks, and will attack anyone it dislikes. When Cubchoo is healthy, the snot is sticky and its moves become even more stronger but if it's unhealthy, the snot becomes more watered down which affects its attacks.
