Ludicolo (Japanese: ルンパッパ Runpappa) is a Water/Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It evolves from Lombre and is the final form of Lotad. It is Shiftry's counterpart.
Biology
Physiology
Ludicolo appears to be a pineapple-duck hybrid with a green sombrero-like lily pad on its head. It has a yellow, fuzzy ovoid body with brown zigzags all over. It has a green face with black pupils and an orange beak. Growing out of the sombrero is a stem like appendage with a yellow spiky ball on top. It has green limbs, and its palms are green in color with two black lines. Its feet are short and stumpy with a black spot on the bottom.
Behavior
When it hears festive music, all of its muscles fill with energy. It can't help breaking out into a dance.Watching them do this uplifts the spirits of all who see them and encourage them to dance as well. When Ludicolo dance, their cells work much harder than they normally do, producing more energy and making them stronger.
When there isn't music, Ludicolo will seek to create their own rhythms, employing a variety of materials found in their habitats. Tools ranging from stone “drums” to reed pipes have been found near ponds where Ludicolo dwell. In battle, they will play these instruments and dance to the melodies produced in order to power up their attacks.
Oftentimes, the sight of dancing Ludicolo is enough to placate aggressors, who may even begin dancing as well. They tend to congregate near sources of joyful music; young children hiking near pounds sometimes attract groups of Ludicolo when singing songs. The dancing attracts more Ludicolo until all individuals in the general vicinity are present.
Gender differences
Male Ludicolo have thicker stripes on their fur than the female ones.
Natural abilities
Its special abilities include Swift Swim and Rain Dish.
Evolution
Ludicolo is the evolved form of Lombre, and is the final evolutionary stage of Lotad. To evolve Lombre into Ludicolo one must use a Water Stone.

Trivia
- In Pokémon: Colosseum during the first battle against Miror. B, he uses all Ludicolo except for one Shadow Sudowoodo.
- Ludicolo and Shiftry have many similarities:
- Both share the Grass type.
- Both have a 50% to be male or female.
- Both of them come from a 3-stage evolution line.
- Both of their middle evolutions evolve with stones (Lombre with Water Stone and Nuzleaf with Leaf Stone).
- Both have the same catch rate (45).
- Both are in the Grass breeding group.
- The first part of their evolutions evolve at Level 14.
- Both are based on Japanese mythological creatures (Shiftry is a tengu while Ludicolo is a kappa).
- Both are exclusive to their games (Shiftry is exclusive to Ruby and Ludicolo is exclusive to Sapphire).
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Ludicolo's evolutionary line.
- Ludicolo's evolutionary line are the only Pokémon to be in both the Water 1 and Grass egg groups.
- Ludicolo's evolutionary line are the only Pokémon to have Rain Dish as a normal ability instead of a hidden ability.
Origin
Ludicolo is likely based on a duck, platypus, kappa, lily pad, and pineapple. Since the structure on its head resembles a sombrero, its fur resembling a poncho, and it likes dancing, it may also be based on Mexican folk dancing.
Etymology
Ludicolo likely comes from ludicrous, ridiculous, piña colada (a drink made with pineapple juice, hence its shape), and loco (Spanish for "crazy", given its erratic dance patterns).
Runpappa likely comes from rumba (a genre of Latin American music) and kappa.
