#345 Lileep
“Lileep (Japanese: リリーラ Lilyla) is a dual-type Rock/Grass Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It is revived from a Root Fossil and evolves into Cradily starting at level 40.
Lileep is a plant-like Pokémon based on a crinoid with eight dark-tipped, pink petal-like tentacles protruding from an opening on top of its head. Inside the pitch-black opening are two glowing, yellow eyes. The remainder of its head is purple with yellow eyespots resembling targets. The head is connected to the body through a yellow stem. The body itself is purple and semi-spherical. Four stubby roots anchor this Pokémon firmly to the rocks of its home on the sea floor.
In ancient times, it lived in warm seas. It waves its tentacles around to disguise itself as seaweed to attract prey, which is swallowed whole after being entangled. It has a tendency to cling to rocks on the seabed, to anchor itself during hunting. Lileep has been extinct for 100,000,000 years, but specimens can be revived from Root Fossils.“-Bulbapedia.
