Seedot (Japanese: タネボー Taneboh) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It evolves into Nuzleaf at level 14 and evolves again into Shiftry via Leaf Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Seedot is a small brown creature with a gray-colored 'cap' that greatly resembles an acorn, so much so that it can easily startle Pokémon looking for food on the forest floor. It can stick onto trees with the top of its cap, and has a beige colored, mask-like patterning on its face with two beige feet for moving about.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Its size makes it capable of very little, however, it is able to learn Explosion.

Behavior

As it looks like an acorn, it can startle other Pokémon by suddenly moving and enjoys scaring them, especially foraging Pidgey. Seedot polishes its body once a day using leaves.

Habitat

Seedot live in dense forests. Sometimes they hang from tree branches.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Seedot enjoy consuming water and nutrients from trees. The more water Seedot drinks, the glossier its body becomes. When it finishes eating, its body becomes so heavy that it drops to the ground with a thump.
