Lotad

Lotad appeared in 2002 video game called Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire. Lotad is a Water Weed Pokémon. The leaf that is on Lotad's head is too big and heavy for it to carry on land, so instead it floats on the surface of the water.

Lotad is a small, blue Pokémon with six stubby legs. It has large eyes and a wide, yellow mouth similar to a bill. A large leaf that resembles a lilypad covers its back. This large leaf allows Lotad to float across ponds, and it will sometimes ferry smaller Pokémon on its back in this manner. However, the leaf will wilt if Lotad becomes dehydrated. The size and weight prevent Lotad from living on land, but on rare occasions, it travels on land in search of clean water.
