Lileep (Japanese: リリーラ Lilyla) is a dual-type Rock/Grass Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It is resurrected from a Root Fossil and evolves into Cradily starting at level 40.

Biology

Lileep is a somewhat plant-like Pokémon with eight dark-tipped, pink tentacles protruding from an opening on top of its head. Inside the pitch black opening are two glowing, yellow eyes. The remainder of its head is purple with yellow eyespots resembling targets. The head is connected to the body by means of a yellow stem. The body itself is purple and semi-spherical. Four stubby roots anchor this Pokémon firmly to the rocks of its home on the sea floor.

In ancient times, it lived in warm seas. It waves its tentacles around to disguise itself as seaweed in order to attract prey, which is swallowed whole after being entangled. Lileep has been extinct for 100 million years, but specimens can be revived from Root Fossils.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Lileep and its evolution.
  • Furthermore, Lileep and its evolution consist of the two types with most weaknesses, Grass and Rock, but they have only four weaknesses.
• Lileep and its evolution are the only Grass-type Pokémon that belong in the Water 3 Egg Group.

Origin

Lileep may be based on crinoids (also known as sea lilies), marine animals related to starfishes, which were once believed to be extinct.

Name origin

Lileep may be a combination of lily and peep (it seems to peep out from the darkness). The latter part of its name may also derive from deep (coming from the depths of the ocean floor) or sleep (as they have been sleeping as Fossils for over one hundred million years).

Lilyla may be a play on lily and possibly lila (Spanish for lilac, referring to its purple color).
