Lileep is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be resurrected from a Root Fossil.
Physiology
Lileep has eight tentacles protruding from its body. The cup-shaped body has a set of circles around it and is connected to a semi-spherical base that has four 'roots' to anchor Lileep to the ground. One of these 'roots' eventually become the fossil that Lileep is resurrected from.
The exact habitat of Lileep is unknown but Root Fossils from which this Pokémon is resurrected from are found in the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions. Their original habitats were probably on the seafloor at some point.
Lileep became extinct approximately a hundred million years ago. This ancient Pokémon attaches itself to a rock on the seafloor and catches approaching prey using tentacles shaped like flower petals.
Lileep is an ancient Pokémon that was regenerated from a fossil. It remains permanently anchored to a rock. From its immobile perch, this Pokémon intently scans for prey with its two eyes.
It disguises itself as seaweed by making its tentacles sway. Unsuspecting prey that come too close are swallowed whole. It became extinct 100 million years ago.
