Ludicolo (Japanese: ルンパッパ Runpappa) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon.
It evolves from Lombre when exposed to a Water Stone. It is the final form of Lotad.
Biology
Physiology
Ludicolo is a mixture of a pineapple and a duck (or possibly a platypus). Ludicolo appears to sport a green sombrero and a poncho. It is colored yellow with black eyes and an orange bill. Its green, somewhat mitten-like hands are extremely large in comparison to other Pokémon's hands, and have two black lines of markings on their palms. There is a large, green sombrero-like feature on its head, with a short brown stem coming out of the top of it with a yellow spiky upper portion. There are several dark yellow stripes on its pineapple-like body and around its eyes is a patch of green. Ludicolo's legs are thick, green and sport a pattern of a black circle on the foot's underside.
Gender differences
A female has thinner stripes than a male.
Special abilities
Ludicolo can use several attacks such as Nature Power and Mega Drain, its attacks become even more powerful if it hears festive music as its muscles are filled with energy and the particles in its body begin to move faster, amplifying its power. Ludicolo also has the power of happiness, its dancing influences other people and Pokémon to join the dance as well. As a fully-evolved Pokémon, Ludicolo can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Ludicolo are happy to a fault. They dance around without a care in the world all day. If a Ludicolo hears loud, happy music, it will come running to dance along to it. They can't resist joining in with people having a good time.
Habitat
Ludicolo is seen to live in the forests right next to the water. It is also said to appear near laughing children on hiking trails.
