Read more ↓Lotad, the Water Weed Pokémon, is a charming dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation III. This playful creature is known for its lily pad-like head, which it uses to float on water. Lotad typically inhabits freshwater ponds and lakes in the Hoenn region, often found in groups. Its diet consists primarily of algae and small aquatic organisms, which it filters from the water. In the Pokémon games, Lotad evolves into Lombre, then into Ludicolo, becoming a lively and rhythmic Pokémon. Lotad's unique typing offers interesting strategic advantages and disadvantages in battles, being resistant to Water and Ground types but vulnerable to Flying and Bug types. In the anime, Lotad is often portrayed as a somewhat clumsy but endearing character, notably Brock's Lotad in the Advanced Generation series, which eventually evolves into Ludicolo. Its design, inspired by the Japanese kappa, contributes to its cultural significance, blending folklore with the Pokémon world.
