Lileep (Japanese: リリーラ Lilyla) is a dual-type Rock/Grass Pokémon.

It is resurrected from a Root fossil and then evolves into Cradily starting at level 40.

Biology

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. Lileep is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be resurrected from a Root Fossil.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Lileep anchors itself on a rock on the seafloor in order to catch its food. The prey is attracted to Lileep's tentacles, since it disguises them as seaweed by swaying them slowly. When prey comes near, it is swallowed whole by Lileep's massive mouth.

Behavior

Lileep leads a very simple life for a predator Pokémon. Its body remains immobile at all times, only moving its mouth to catch its prey. It will occasionally move its tentacles to grip objects or to resemble seaweed to fool unsuspecting prey.

Habitat

File:Sea.gif

Sea Pokémon

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. This is supported in the Mystery Dungeon series where they are found in the wild on a deep seafloor and a cave connected to the ocean.

Trivia

• Its shiny variation's color may be based on its evolution, Cradily.
• Lileep's is one of two Grass-type lines that are not in the Plant egg group. The other is the Treecko line.

Origin

It may be based on crinoids, or sea lilies, marine animals related to seastars, which were once believed to be extinct.

Name origin

Lileep's name may be a combined form of lily and peep, seeing as it seems to peep out from the darkness. It could also be lily and sleep, as they have been sleeping as a fossil for over over a hundred million years ago.

In other languages
