Lotad (Japanese: ハスボー Hassboh) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon.

It evolves into Lombre starting at level 14, which evolves into Ludicolo when exposed to a Water Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Lotad has a blue body with a yellow bill-like mouth and six small blue legs. It appears to have a lilypad on its back. It is believed that when a Lotad's leaf becomes too big, it starts to float on the water.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Lotad has most of the abilities of both Grass- and Template:Type2 Pokémon. It is able to float into the middle of ponds and lakes and photosynthesize food for itself without direct competition from others. It can also serve as ferries for smaller Pokémon that can't swim.

Behavior

Lotad is usually quite placid and easygoing. On rare occasions, It travels on land in search of clean water. If it does not drink water for too long, the leaf on its head wilts.

Habitat

Lotad is mostly found in wet areas like lakes and ponds where it floats.

Name origin

Lotad is a combination of lotus and tadpole or lily pad.

Hassboh is based on 蓮 hasu (lotus) and 赤ん坊 akanbō (baby) or 帽子 bōshi (hat).
