Petilil (Japanese: チュリネ Churine) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

She evolves into Lilligant when exposed to a Sun Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Petilil is a plant-like, Grass-type Pokémon, primarily light green in coloration. Its head’s rounded shape and striations causes her to resemble a plant bulb, such as an onion. Its head is tipped with three oblong leaves and its crescent-shaped white face, seemingly lacking of a nose or mouth, has brown eyes shaped like elongated vertical ovals. A green "bib" feature is present on its neck, and its lower body consists of five stubs, two of which act as arms, and two more act as legs.

Gender differences

Petilil is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Special abilities

The leaves on its head are bitter but have a revitalization effect on others.

It lives in areas with soil abundant in moisture and nutrients.
