Read more ↓Lotad, the Water Weed Pokémon, is a dual Water/Grass type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is known for its lily pad-like head, which it uses to float on water, and its perpetually sleepy expression. Lotad typically resides in freshwater ponds and lakes, often seen drifting lazily on the surface, absorbing sunlight. Its diet consists primarily of algae and small aquatic organisms, which it filters from the water. Lotad evolves into Lombre, and then into Ludicolo, a festive and energetic Pokémon. In the games, Lotad is often an early-game encounter in the Hoenn region, providing players with a versatile dual-type option. Its unique typing gives it an interesting set of resistances and weaknesses, making it a strategic choice for many trainers. In the anime, Lotad is often portrayed as clumsy but good-natured, with Brock owning a particularly memorable one that eventually evolves. Its design, inspired by the Japanese kappa and water lilies, contributes to its charm and gentle demeanor, making it a favorite among fans who appreciate its serene presence.
