Ludicolo (Japanese: ルンパッパ Runpappa) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Lombre when exposed to a Water Stone. It is the final form of Lotad.
Biology
Ludicolo is a bipedal Pokémon that appears to be a mixture of a pineapple and a duck. There is a green, sombrero-like growth on its head that is similar to a lily pad. Growing out of the top of its head is a short brown stem with a yellow spiky upper portion. Ludicolo has black eyes surrounded by a patch of green and an orange bill. Its body is covered with shaggy yellow fur and has several zigzagging brown stripes. The female has thinner stripes than the male.
Ludicolo has large, green hands with two black lines on its palms, and thick green legs with a black circle on the underside of its feet. Ludicolo becomes more powerful when it hears festive music and will appear near laughing children on hikes. As it becomes more energetic and active, it will break into a dance. Being the result of evolution via Evolution stone, Ludicolo is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found near the water's edge.

Trivia
- Ludicolo'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.
- Ludicolo's evolutionary family can be seen as a parallel to Shiftry's family. Both of them are part Grass-type, they first evolve at level 14, and a respective Evolution stone is used to reach the final stage. Both are version-exclusive between Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and are based on Japanese legendary creatures or yokai: Ludicolo's family are based on the kappa and Shiftry's is based on the tengu.
Origin
Ludicolo seems 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 (although Ludicolo's beak is closer to that of a duck or platypus). The colors and shape of its body are similar to various fruits such as a gourd, pineapple, or papaya. It also resembles a stereotypical Mexican folk dancer or mariachi performer with its sombrero-shaped head, poncho-like body hair, and dancing movements.
Name origin
Ludicolo may be a combination of ludic (aimlessly playful), ludicrous or ridiculous (absurd or silly), paludicolous (inhabiting a marsh), and colocynth (a plant that bears a round, green fruit). Colo may also be an anagram of loco (Spanish for crazy).
Runpappa may be a combination of ルンルン runrun (happy or bouncy) or rumba (a Cuban dance) and 河童 kappa or papaya (a green fruit native to Mexico).
