Ludicolo is a bipedal Pokémon that appears to be a mixture of a pineapple and a duck. There is a green sombrero-like growth on its head that is similar to lily pad. Growing out of the top of its head is short brown stem with a yellow spiky upper portion. It has black eyes surrounded by a patch of green and an orange bill. Its body is yellow with several, zigzagging brown stripes. The female has thinner stripes than the male. It has large, green hand with two black lines on its palms. It has thick green legs with a black circle on the underside of its feet.

Growing out of the top of its head is a short brown stem with a yellow spiky upper portion. Ludicolo has black eyes surrounded by a patch of green and an orange bill. Its body is covered with shaggy yellow fur and has several zigzagging brown stripes. The female has thinner stripes than the male. Ludicolo has large, green hands with two black lines on its palms, and thick green legs with a black circle on the underside of its feet.
   
Ludicolo becomes more powerful when if hears festive music. As it becomes more energetic and active, it will break into a dance. It appears near laughing children on hiking outings. Ludicolo lives near the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}.


==In the anime==
Ludicolo becomes more powerful when it hears festive music and will appear near laughing children on hikes. The reason is due to structures in Ludicolo's body that can produce energy when hit by sound waves with a cheerful rhythm. As it becomes more energetic and active, it will break into a dance. This allows Ludicolo to face enemies without fear. Being the result of evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Ludicolo is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found near the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Ludicolo and its pre-evolutions, {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Lombre}}, have a [[list of Pokémon with a unique type combination|unique type combination]].
* Ludicolo's evolutionary family has several unique attributes:
* As of [[Generation V]], no other Pokémon have the same [[Egg Group]] combination of Ludicolo's {{p|Lombre|evolutionary}} {{p|Lotad|line}}. In this case, they are included in both {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Grass}} Egg Groups.
** They are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a dual [[Egg Group]] of {{egg|Water 1}} and {{egg|Grass}}.
* Ludicolo's evolutionary line are very similar with {{p|Shiftry}}'s family. Both of them are part {{type|Grass}}, they first evolve at level 14, a respective [[evolutionary stone]] is used to reach the final stage, and both of them are also [[version-exclusive]] between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. They both also gain a very small movepool by evolving to their final evolutions.  
** They are the only Pokémon that can have the [[Ability]] {{a|Rain Dish}} without it being their Hidden Ability.
** They are the only {{type|Water}} Pokémon in the Grass Egg Group.
* Ludicolo's evolutionary family can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Shiftry}}'s family. Both of them are part {{type|Grass}}, they first evolve at level 14, and a respective [[Evolution stone]] is used to reach the final stage. Both are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and are based on Japanese legendary creatures or yokai: Ludicolo's family are based on the kappa and Shiftry's is based on the tengu.
*Ludicolo is one of the few Pokémon whose official artwork depicts the female form.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Ludicolo is probably based on a duck, platypus, or kappa, a Mexican dancer, and a giant colocynth or pineapple.
Ludicolo seems to be based on a {{wp|lily pad}} and the {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}, a Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} that has a water-filled dish on its head and a {{wp|turtle}}-like beak (although Ludicolo's beak is closer to that of a {{wp|duck}} or {{wp|platypus}}). The colors and shape of its body are similar to various fruits such as a {{wp|gourd}}, {{wp|pineapple}}, or {{wp|papaya}}. It also resembles a stereotypical {{wp|Folk dance of Mexico|Mexican folk dancer}} or {{wp|mariachi}} performer with its {{wp|sombrero}}-shaped head, {{wp|poncho}}-like body hair, and dancing movements.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Ludicolo may be a combination of ''ludic'' (playful in an aimless way) or ''ludicrous'' (laughable or absurd) and ''colocynth'' (a plant that bears a round, yellow and green fruit). ''Colo'' may be an anagram of ''loco'', slang for "crazy."
Ludicolo may be a combination of ''ludic'' (aimlessly playful), ''ludicrous'', ''ridiculous'' (absurd or silly), ''paludicolous'' (inhabiting a marsh), and ''{{wp|Citrullus colocynthis|colocynth}}'' (a plant that bears a round, green fruit). It may also involve an anagram of ''loco'' (Spanish for crazy).


Runpappa may be a combination of ルンルン ''runrun'' (happy or bouncy) and ''pappa'' (the possible sound of a rapid drumbeat). It may also be a combination of ''{{wp|Rumba (dance)|rumba}}'' and ''{{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}''.
Runpappa may be a combination of ルンルン ''runrun'' (happy or bouncy) or ''{{wp|Rumba (dance)|rumba}}'' (a Cuban dance) and 河童 ''{{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}'' or ''papaya'' (a green fruit native to Mexico).

Ludicolo (Japanese: ルンパッパ Runpappa) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Lombre when exposed to a Water Stone. It is the final form of Lotad.

Biology

Ludicolo is a bipedal plant Pokémon that appears to be a mixture of a pineapple and a duck. There is a green, sombrero-like growth on its head that is similar to a lily pad. Growing out of the top of its head is a short brown stem with a yellow spiky upper portion. Ludicolo has black eyes surrounded by a patch of green and an orange bill. Its body is covered with shaggy yellow fur and has several zigzagging brown stripes. The female has thinner stripes than the male. Ludicolo has large, green hands with two black lines on its palms, and thick green legs with a black circle on the underside of its feet.

Ludicolo becomes more powerful when it hears festive music and will appear near laughing children on hikes. The reason is due to structures in Ludicolo's body that can produce energy when hit by sound waves with a cheerful rhythm. As it becomes more energetic and active, it will break into a dance. This allows Ludicolo to face enemies without fear. Being the result of evolution via Evolution stone, Ludicolo is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found near the water's edge.

Prior to Generation V, Ludicolo and its pre-evolved forms were the only known Pokémon that could have Rain Dish as an Ability.

Evolution

Ludicolo evolves from Lombre and is the final form of Lotad.

Trivia

  • Ludicolo's evolutionary family has several unique attributes:
  • Ludicolo's evolutionary family can be seen as a parallel to Shiftry's family. Both of them are part Grass-type, they first evolve at level 14, and a respective Evolution stone is used to reach the final stage. Both are version-exclusive Pokémon between Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and are based on Japanese legendary creatures or yokai: Ludicolo's family are based on the kappa and Shiftry's is based on the tengu.
  • Ludicolo is one of the few Pokémon whose official artwork depicts the female form.

Origin

Ludicolo seems to be based on a lily pad and the kappa, a Japanese yōkai that has a water-filled dish on its head and a turtle-like beak (although Ludicolo's beak is closer to that of a duck or platypus). The colors and shape of its body are similar to various fruits such as a gourd, pineapple, or papaya. It also resembles a stereotypical Mexican folk dancer or mariachi performer with its sombrero-shaped head, poncho-like body hair, and dancing movements.

Name origin

Ludicolo may be a combination of ludic (aimlessly playful), ludicrous, ridiculous (absurd or silly), paludicolous (inhabiting a marsh), and colocynth (a plant that bears a round, green fruit). It may also involve an anagram of loco (Spanish for crazy).

Runpappa may be a combination of ルンルン runrun (happy or bouncy) or rumba (a Cuban dance) and 河童 kappa or papaya (a green fruit native to Mexico).
