Before joining Brock's party in episode ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'', {{p|Lotad}} belonged to a group of Lotad that lived near the Flower Shop between [[Petalburg City]] and [[Rustboro City|Rustboro]]. It was somewhat dense compared to the other Lotad that watered the shop's garden, but thanks to some encouragement from Brock, it eventually was able to water the plants as well. Soon after, it joins Brock's team after rescuing its fellow Lotad from {{TRT}}.

Lotad's personality was somewhat similar to that of [[Misty's Psyduck]], although not as frustrating to its Trainer, as Brock is much more patient then {{an|Misty}} was. It usually had a vacant stare about it and was slow to react to the events occurring around it. Nevertheless, it remained a trustworthy Pokémon when called upon to do battle or to aid Brock (its lily pad makes for a handy table). It stood loyally by Brock's side when he nursed an injured {{p|Sharpedo}} back to health in episode ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.

Lotad evolved in ''[[AG063|Take the Lombre Home!]]'', after falling into an empty well. The people of the nearby village claimed {{p|Lombre}} as their "Water Lord," and hoped that it would be able to end the drought blamed on a {{p|Solrock}}. As a Lombre, it continues to be used often alongside [[Brock's Marshtomp|Mudkip]]. Because it looks similar to a sombrero-wearing human, Lombre has performed alongside Brock in his [[Takeshi's Paradise]] outfit.

In ''[[AG105|Once in a Mawile]]'', a {{p|Mawile}} became infatuated with a seemingly uninterested Lombre. Brock wished Lombre to reciprocate so that he can get closer to Mawile's Trainer, [[Samantha]], but Lombre appeared apathetic. Later, while Mawile and Samantha are performing onstage, Lombre searched through Samantha's belongings, discovering a {{evostone|Water Stone}}. The contact with the Water Stone triggers its evolution into {{p|Ludicolo}}, as well as a change in personality. As a Ludicolo it is much more friendly and energetic, and it now willing to return Mawile's affection. Unfortunately for Ludicolo (and Brock), Mawile wanted nothing to do with the fully evolved Pokémon and moved on to other Pokémon, namely a {{p|Psyduck}}. Although surprised, Ludicolo quickly bounced back to its happy state and took Brock with it.

Because of how much [[Brock's siblings|his brothers and sisters]] enjoyed it, Brock left Ludicolo with his family at the [[Pewter City]] Gym, as revealed in ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa Hanger]]''.

Ludicolo also appears in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]'' where it was revealed that Brock's parents took Ludicolo with them on holiday so it could carry their luggage.
