Lileep (リリーラ Ririira in Japan, Liliep in Germany and Lilia in France) is a fictional species found as a fossil in the Hoenn region of the Pokémon games. It looks like a brightly colored flower with a black centre, in which are a beady yellow pair of eyes. The flower rests on a purple blob with fake eye-spots, with is in turn on a yellow banded stalk with a large purple 'foot' at the bottom. It evolves into Cradily at level 40.

Its name originates from the words "lily," suggesting its flower-like appearance, and "peep" (or possibly even "Eep!", as it could surprise you by poking its head out suddenly), since Lileep appears as though it is peeping through its fossilized stem.

Biology

Lileep had been extinct for approximately 100 million years (during the Cretaceous, between the Cetomanian and the Albian faunal stages).

It is an aquatic carnivore; it uses its 'petals' as tentacles to catch slow prey and ingest it whole. Its coloring assists in this, as it resembles harmless seaweed. Although capable of movement, in the wild, Lileep choose one location to stake out and stay there.

Lileep is based upon Crinoids. Even though it is part grass, it is able to breed with pokemon like Tentacool.

Most Lileep that are resurrected are male. The reason for this is to make breeding more of them a little harder, one in eight of them are female though. (this same gender ratio exists for other pokemon that you usually only get one of)

In the video games

Lileep is a prehistoric Pokémon, and as such, cannot be found in any game in the wild. The only way to get it in the Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire games is to pick up the Root Fossil in the desert on Route 111, and take it to the Devon Co. building, where a technician at a computer will resurrect it for you. Lileep can also be revived in Pokémon Emerald.

Lileep has the ability Suction Cups. This prevents it from being removed from the battlefield with abilities such as Roar or Whirwind.

In the Anime

Template:Spoiler Lileep's first Pokemon anime appearance was episode 379, which as of July 2005 has not yet been aired in English. Taking place on Wells Island in Hoenn, the episode features a husband-and-wife scientist team (named Moroboshi in the Japanese version) who resurrect Pokemon from fossils using a "Jurassic Park" type technique. Lileep comes from a root fossil which is found on the island, similar to its method of aqusition in the games. Lileep survives an attempted theft by Team Rocket in which its fellow former fossil Armaldo was stolen. Template:Endspoiler
