| | Lileep is a sea lily-like Pokémon with eight petal-like pink tentacles protruding from the opening on its upper body. The cup-shaped body has a set of yellow circular patterns on it resembling eyes; however its true eyes, which are yellow, lie within the darkness of the opening. The upper portion of its body is connected to its lower portion by means of a yellow stem, extending from a semi-spherical base that has four roots to anchor it to the ground. It uses its flower petal-shaped tentacles to catch prey, after using its eyes to search for them. It searches for prey while being attached to a rock on the seafloor. It lived on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea floor}} 100 million years ago. It doesn't move until it is catching its prey. Prey mistake its tentacles for food when Lileep moves them around. It swallows prey whole after catching them. |

The cup-shaped body has a set of yellow circular patterns on it resembling eyes; however, its true eyes, which are yellow, lie within the darkness of the opening. The upper portion of Lileep's body is connected to its lower by means of a yellow-colored stem, extending from a semi-spherical base that has four 'roots' to anchor Lileep to the ground. One of these "roots" eventually become the Fossil that Lileep is resurrected from. Lileep is a Fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be resurrected from a [[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil]]. | |

| ===Special abilities===
| |
| It can use its two eyes to scan for prey then catch it with its flower petal-shaped tentacles. | |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| Lileep leads a very simple life for a predator Pokémon. Its body remains immobile at all times, anchored to a rock on a seafloor to catch its food, and only moving its mouth to catch its prey. From its immobile perch, it will intently scan for its prey with its two eyes. It will occasionally move its tentacles to grip objects or lure prey. Lileep's prey is attracted to Lileep's tentacles, since it disguises them as seaweed by swaying them slowly. When prey comes near, it is swallowed whole by Lileep's massive mouth.

| |
| The exact habitat of Lileep is unknown but [[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossils]] from which this Pokémon is resurrected from are found in the [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] regions. Their original habitats were probably on the seafloor at some point. This is supported in the Mystery Dungeon series where they are found in the wild on a deep seafloor and a cave connected to the ocean.
