Lotad is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon.

It evolves into Lombre starting at level 14 and then into Ludicolo by using a Water Stone on it.

Pokédex Entry

Pokédex entry This Pokémon lives in ponds with clean water. It is known to ferry small Pokémon across ponds by carrying them on the broad leaf on its head.

Biology

Physiology

(From Bulbapedia) Lotad is a small, blue Pokémon with six stubby legs. It has large eyes and a wide, yellow mouth similar to a bill. A large leaf that resembles a lilypad covers its back. This large leaf allows Lotad to float across ponds, and it will sometimes ferry smaller Pokémon on its back in this manner. However, the leaf will wilt if Lotad becomes dehydrated. The size and weight prevent Lotad from living on land, but on rare occasions, it travels on land in search of clean water.
