Brock's Ludicolo (Japanese: タケシのルンパッパ Takeshi's Runpappa) was the first Pokémon acquired by Brock in Hoenn, and his sixth altogether. Its Japanese voice actor is 立木文彦 Fumihiko Tachiki and its English voice actors are Eric Stuart (4Kids dub) and Bill Rogers (PUSA dub). In Japanese, 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō voiced it as a Lotad and Lombre. In English, Kayzie Rogers voiced it as a Lotad and Dan Green voiced it as a Lombre.
History
Before joining Brock's party in episode The Lotad Lowdown, Lotad belonged to a flock of Lotad that lived near the Flower Shop between Petalburg City and 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 Team Rocket.
Lotad's personality was somewhat similar to that of Misty's Psyduck, although not as frustrating to its trainer. 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 Sharpedo back to health in episode Sharpedo Attack!. During the events of episode A Mudkip Mission, Lotad rescued some Mudkip, one of which Brock captured. Since then, the two Template:Type2s would often be used together, usually to launch a dual Water Gun attack.
Lotad evolved in Take the Lombre Home, after falling into an empty well. The people of the nearby village claimed Lombre as their "Water Lord," and hoped that it would be able to end the drought blamed on a Solrock. As a Lombre, it continues to be used often alongside Mudkip. Because it looks similar to a sombrero-wearing human, Lombre has performed alongside Brock in his Takeshi's Paradise outfit.
In Once in a Mawile, a 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 Water Stone. The contact with the Water Stone triggers its evolution into 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 Psyduck. Although surprised, Ludicolo quickly bounced back to its happy state and took Brock with it. Because of how much his brothers and sisters enjoyed it, Brock left Ludicolo with his family at the Pewter City Gym, as revealed in A Real Cleffa Hanger.
