I'm confused. Sometimes its slime is sticky, othertimes it's slick. So does it secrete slimes of different stickiness? Is it a translation goof? Is it less sticky and more greasy? I guess it makes sense that when it's hugging its trainer, the slime is sticky, because it doesn't want to let go of the trainer. Then when it's attack, it secretes a more slippery slime to help deflect attacks.
