Surskit is a blue insectoid Pokémon. There are semicircular pink markings under its dark, circular eyes. It has a round body with four long, skinny legs extending from it. On top of its head is a yellow cap with a single antenna that secretes a thick, sugary syrup or a sweet scent. The syrup is exuded as a defense mechanism, while the scent can attract prey. This Pokémon can also secrete oil from the tips of its feet, which enables it to walk on water as though skating. Surskit inhabits ponds, rivers, and similar wetlands, where it feeds on microscopic, aquatic organisms. However, it sometimes appears in puddles after a rainstorm. In its natural habitat, Surskit has been known to compete with Dewpider over food.

Major appearances
Surskit debuted in Maxxed Out!. It was owned by a boy named Max, the doppelgänger of May’s little brother, who intended for it to be his starter Pokémon. This made May’s brother jealous as he did not know what his starter Pokémon would be at that time.
In Destiny Deoxys, a Surskit is Kathryn’s main Pokémon. It helped the group rotate the blades of the windmills in LaRousse City.

In the next episode, it was defeated by Pikachu during Ash’s rematch against Viola. In Breaking Titles at the Chateau!, Surskit battled Grant’s Onix at the Battle Chateau and was defeated.
