Lotad (Japanese: ハスボー Hassboh) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon.
It evolves into Lombre starting at level 14, which evolves into Ludicolo when exposed to a Water Stone.
Biology
Lotad is a small blue Pokémon with a yellow bill-like mouth and six small blue legs. It appears to have a lilypad on its back. It is believed that when a Lotad's leaf becomes too big, it starts to float on the water. However, if Lotad does not drink water for too long, the leaf on its head wilts. Lotad is able to float into the middle of ponds and lakes and photosynthesize food for itself without direct competition from others. Lotad is usually quite placid and easygoing. It can also serve as ferries for smaller Pokémon that can't swim. On rare occasions, it travels on land in search of clean water.

Trivia
- Lotad's evolutionary line have several unique attributes:
- They have a unique type combination.
- They are the only Pokémon with a dual Egg Group of Water 1 and Grass.
- They are the only Pokémon that can have the Ability Rain Dish without it being their Hidden Ability.
- Lotad can be seen as a parallel to Seedot. Both of them are Grass-type Generation III Pokémon and are part of a three-stage evolutionary line, who evolve into their evolved forms at or above level 14, and whose second evolutionary event utilizes an Evolutionary stone. Lotad is exclusive to Pokémon Sapphire, while Seedot is exclusive to Pokémon Ruby, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both Pokémon can be found in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum by using the Dual-slot mode, with Lotad requiring Pokémon Sapphire, and Seedot requiring Pokémon Ruby. Both can also be found in White Forest in Pokémon White, and both have the same base stat total, with both having equal stats arranged differently with Lotad more oriented toward the special stats and Seedot the physical stats.
Origin
Lotad seems to be a literal example of a lily pad. Given its general shape and habitat, it may have also been partially inspired by a tardigrade.
Name origin
Lotad is a combination of lotus and tadpole or lily pad.
Hassboh is based on 蓮 hasu (lotus) and 赤ん坊 akanbō (baby) or 帽子 bōshi (hat).
