Lotad in Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!

Lotad was first seen in The Lotad Lowdown. Three sisters named Natalie, Nicole, and Rita owned a flower shop and a bunch of Lotad. One of these Lotad were given to Brock. This particular Lotad was a bit slow and sometimes stared blankly for a few seconds before attacking. It evolved into Lombre in Take the Lombre Home.

Another Lotad appeared in Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan. It belonged to Forsythia.
