Seedot (Japanese: タネボー Taneboh) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Nuzleaf starting at level 14, which evolves into Shiftry when exposed to a Leaf Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Seedot is a small, brown creature that greatly resembles an acorn, so much so that it can easily startle Pokémon looking for food on the forest floor. It has a gray "cap" covering the top of its head, and has a beige-colored, mask-like patterning on its face. Its eyes are large and black with beige pupils. Seedot also has two beige feet for moving about.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Seedot's size makes it capable of very little in terms of attacking, however, it is able to learn Explosion. Seedot can also stick to tree branches with the "stem" of its "cap."

Behavior

As it looks like an acorn, it can startle other Pokémon by suddenly moving. It enjoys scaring them, especially foraging Pidgey. Seedot polishes its body once a day using leaves.

Habitat

Seedot live in dense forests. Sometimes they hang from tree branches.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food
