Lilligant, the Flowering Pokémon. The beautiful flower on Lilligant's head gives off a relaxing fragrance, although getting it bloom can be difficult even for a veteran Trainer.
Though Lilligant's flower is similar in appearance to the hoya or rafflesia, its relaxing smell makes it more likely to be based on either an orange, pomelo, mandarin orange, or carnation's flowers, all of which are used in essential oils for aromatherapy. Because of this, the leaves of its body may also have been based on other essential oil ingredients, such as spearmint and/or peppermint. Its crown and regal attire may be a reference to high class or royal women's fashion in the late 1700's. It could also be based on a dancer, since it learns only moves with the word Dance in them via level up, excluding moves it knows from the start.
