Lombre (Japanese: ハスブレロ Hasubrero) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon.

It evolves from Lotad starting at level 14 and evolves into Ludicolo when exposed to a Water Stone.

Biology

Lombre is a bipedal Pokémon that is mostly aqua-colored with a green pattern extending from the sides of its head down to its feet. It has stubby, round ears, and a red bill-like mouth. There is a large lilypad on its head, which has a notch in it and resembles a sombrero. It has long arms with red fingers and a thumb on each hand. It has green feet with three toes. It is sometimes mistaken for a human child.

Lombre is a mischievous Pokémon that tugs on fishing lines of anglers from underwater and pops out of rivers to startle people during the evening. It is nocturnal and sleeps on a bed of water grass during the day. It lives in rivers and at the edges of bodies of water. It feeds on aquatic moss that grows on rocks in the riverbed.

Lombre appears to like its personality, as is shown through its decision not to evolve into the carefree Ludicolo. He is also present on the Hill of the Ancients to celebrate the victory of the fallen star being destroyed, and is playfully cornered by Blastoise and the other NPC characters while the player begins to vanish. After the game is completed, he gives the player access to Stormy Sea.

Trivia

• Lombre and its evolutionary relatives, Lotad and Ludicolo, have a unique type combination.
• No other Pokémon have the same Egg Group combination as Lombre's evolutionary line. In this case, they are included in both Water 1 and Grass Egg Groups.

Origin

Lombre's appearance is similar to the Japanese mythological creature known as the kappa. Unlike Golduck, this Pokémon is more like the kappa. A kappa has a dish on its head filled with water that is the source of its power, called a sara, just as this Pokémon has a similar dish and uses Rain Dish to replenish itself. It also has facial features similar to the kappa, such as a turtle-like beak. It also bears some resemblance to the Amefurikozō .

Name origin

Lombre may be a combination of lotus and hombre (Spanish for man). It may also derive from sombrero (Spanish for hat), similar to its Japanese name. Alternatively, it may involve sombre (French for dark), referring to it being nocturnal, or l'ombre (French for "the shade"), referring to its lilypad possibly being used for shade.

Hasubrero is a combination of 蓮 hasu (lotus) and sombrero. Its German name, Lombrero, mirrors this meaning.
