Lileep (Japanese: リリーラ Lilyla) is a dual-type Rock/Grass Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It is resurrected from a Root Fossil and evolves into Cradily starting at level 40.

Biology

A Lileep clinging to an Omanyte

Lileep is a plant like Pokémon based on a Crinoid with eight dark-tipped, pink petal-like tentacles protruding from an opening on top of its head. Inside the pitch-black opening are two glowing, yellow eyes. The remainder of its head is purple with yellow eyespots resembling targets. The head is connected to the body through a yellow stem. The body itself is purple and semi-spherical. Four stubby roots anchor this Pokémon firmly to the rocks of its home on the sea floor.

In ancient times, it lived in warm seas. It waves its tentacles around to disguise itself as seaweed to attract prey, which is swallowed whole after being entangled. It has a tendency to cling to rocks on the seabed, to anchor itself during hunting. Lileep has been extinct for 100,000,000 years, but specimens can be revived from Root Fossils.

Trivia

• Lileep and its evolution are the only Grass-type Pokémon that belong in the Water 3 Egg Group.
• Before Generation VIII, the Lileep family had only been obtainable with their Hidden Ability in the Pokémon Dream World. Due to the closure of the Pokémon Global Link, the Lileep family could no longer be obtained with their Hidden Ability except through breeding. The Lileep family's Hidden Ability can currently be obtained via Max Raid Battles or the Ability Patch.

Origin

Lileep may be based on crinoids (also known as sea lilies), extant marine animals. Crinoid fossils are particularly abundant, possibly inspiring Lileep's status as a fossil Pokémon. Its tentacles may be based on those of the sea anemone.

Name origin

Lileep may be a combination of lily and deep, sleep, creep, or peep.

Lilyla may be a combination of lily and possibly lila (Spanish for lilac, referring to its purple color).
