Lotad (Japanese: ハスボー Hassboh) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
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 six stubby legs. It has large eyes and a wide, yellow mouth similar to a bill. A large leaf that resembles a lilypad covers its back. This large leaf allows Lotad to float across ponds, and it will sometimes ferry smaller Pokémon on its back in this manner. However, the leaf will wilt if Lotad becomes dehydrated. Its size and weight prevent Lotad from living on land, but on rare occasions, it travels on land in search of clean water.
In the anime
Main series
Major appearances
Brock's Lotad
In The Lotad Lowdown, three sisters named Natalie, Nicole, and Rita owned a flower shop and a horde of Lotad. One of these Lotad were given to Brock. This particular Lotad was a bit slow and sometimes stared blankly for a few seconds before attacking. In Take the Lombre Home, it evolved into a Lombre. It then evolved into a Ludicolo in Once in a Mawile.
Other
In Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!, Forsythia's Lotad was the only one that knew her normally shy Roserade was the one secretly and fearlessly protecting her Berry garden. It later saved Forsythia from Team Rocket's mecha and then convinced Roserade to continue fighting Team Rocket without its red scarf — the only thing that gave it the confidence to act.
In One for the Goomy!, multiple Lotad were startled when James's Inkay attacked the river with Psybeam. They subsequently attacked Team Rocket, as well as Ash and his friends, with Energy Ball, thus separating the groups from each other.
Multiple Lotad living at Goodra's marsh made semi-regular appearances in Pokémon the Series: XY, starting with Defending the Homeland!.

Trivia
- Lotad's evolutionary family has 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 Evolution 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.
- Lotad is tied with Sunkern for having the lowest base Defense of all Grass-type Pokémon.
Origin
Lotad appears to be based on a lily pad and the kappa, a Japanese yōkai that has a water-filled dish on its head and a turtle-like beak.
Name origin
Lotad may be a combination of lotus and lily pad, tad (a small amount), or tadpole (a young amphibian).
Hassboh may be a combination of 蓮 hasu (lotus) and 赤ん坊 akanbō (baby) or 帽子 bōshi (hat).
