Lombre (Japanese: ハスブレロ Hasubrero) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon.

It evolves from Lotad starting at level 14 and evolves into Ludicolo when exposed to a Water Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Lombre is mostly aqua-colored, with a pattern of green extending from the sides of its head down to its feet like a garment of some sort, excluding its stubby, rounded ear. It has a red, bill-like mouth, along with a larger lilypad on its head than its pre-evolution. The lilypad itself has a notch in it, and, due to Lombre's bipedal stance, resembles a sombrero. Its arms are long in comparison to its body, and have four red-colored fingers and one thumb each. Lombre's feet, which are green from the coloration pattern have three red toes. It is very human like, so much so that it is often mistaken for human children.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

As a dual Water- and Grass-type, it can use moves such as Absorb, BubbleBeam, and Hydro Pump.

Behavior

Lombre is a mischievous Pokémon, tugging on the fishing lines of anglers from beneath the surface and enjoying their consternation, or otherwise popping out of rivers and startling people. Lombre is nocturnal, sleeping at the water’s edge in a bed of water grass and becoming active at night.

Habitat

Lombre appears to like its personality, as is shown through its decision not to evolve into the carefree Ludicolo. He is also present on the Hill of the Ancients to celebrate the victory of the fallen star being destroyed, and is playfully cornered by Blastoise and the other NPC characters while the player begins to vanish. After the game is completed, he gives the player access to Stormy Sea.

Trivia

• Lombre and its evolutionary relatives, Lotad and Ludicolo, have a unique type combination.
• As of Generation V, no other Pokémon have the same Egg Group combination as Lombre's evolutionary line. In this case, they are included in both Water 1 and Grass Egg Groups.

Origin

Lombre's appearance is similar to the Japanese mythological creature known as the Kappa. Unlike Golduck, this Pokémon is more like the kappa. A kappa has a dish on its head filled with water that is the source of its power, called a sara, just as this Pokémon has a similar dish and uses Rain Dish to replenish itself. It also has facial features similar to the kappa, such as a turtle-like beak.

Name origin

Lombre may be a combination of lotus and hombre (Spanish for man). It may also derive from sombrero (Spanish for hat), similar to its Japanese name. Alternatively, it may involve sombre (French for dark), referring to it being nocturnal.

Hasubrero is a combination of 蓮 hasu (lotus) and sombrero. Its German name, Lombrero, mirrors this meaning.
