Seedot (Japanese: タネボー Taneboh) is a Grass-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Nuzleaf starting at level 14, which evolves into Shiftry when exposed to a Leaf Stone.

Biology

Seedot is a small, brown Pokémon that resembles an acorn. It has a gray "cap" covering the top of its head, and a beige mask-like pattern on its face. Its eyes are large and black with beige pupils. It has two beige feet. Seedot live in forests. It sucks up moisture and nutrients from a tree when hanging from a branch using the top of its head. The more it drinks, the glossier its body becomes. After it finishes eating it becomes so heavy that it drops to the ground. When it remains still, it can be mistaken for a nut. It will startle Pokémon by moving suddenly. It uses leaves to polish its body once a day.

Trivia

• Together with Rattata, Magikarp, and Pichu, Seedot is the easiest Pokémon to catch in Pokémon Ranger, with only one loop needed.
• Seedot can be seen as a parallel to Lotad. Both are Grass-type Generation III Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line, whose first evolution occurs starting at level 14, and whose second evolution requires an evolutionary stone. Both have the same base stat total as well as equal stats arranged differently (Seedot has greater physical stats while Lotad has greater special stats). Seedot is exclusive to Pokémon Ruby while Lotad is exclusive to Sapphire, 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 Dual-slot mode, with Seedot requiring Ruby and Lotad requiring Sapphire. Both can also be found in White Forest in White.

Origin

Seedot is based on an acorn.

Name origin

Seedot may be a combination of seed and dot or tot (referring to its small size).

Taneboh is a combination of 種 tane (seed) and 赤ん坊 akanbō (baby) or 帽子 bōshi (hat).
