Pokémon Farming: Lotad

February 3, 2010

It has been rainy here on the west coast and all this rain reminds me of one of my favorite pokémon, the dancing Ludicolo. Ludicolo start out as a little Lotad and evolves from a Lombre by using a Water stone on it. They are a Grass/Water type which combined neutralize the effectiveness of the elemental attacks of Fire, Ice, Electric and Grass and provide a whopping 4x resistance to Water attacks. These Lotads are bred with a Modest (+SpAttack. -Attack) nature to provide a little more Special Attack and come with these following move-set:

Leech Seed (Grass, Acc 90)
Leech Seed saps HP from any opponent that is not a Grass type until it faints or switches out.

Toxic (Poison, Acc 85)
Badly poisons opponents with an increasing degree of damage as the battle progresses

Energy Ball (Grass, STAB Power 80, Acc 100)
A powerful grass attack that has a 10% chance of lowering an opponents Special Defense.

Ice Beam (Ice, Power 95, Acc 100)
A powerful counter for Grass type that resist Leech Seed and Flying type that may try to switch in. Has a 10% chance of Freezing foes.

Of course any of these can be taught the HM Surf (Water, STAB Power 95, Acc 100) or level Lombre up to level 45 and have it learn Hydro Pump (Water STAB, Power 120, Acc 80) before using your Water stone.

Lotad’s abilities both take advantage of this rainy weather.
Swift Swim doubles it speed when Rain Dance is in effect and
Rain Dish recovers 1/16th of its maximum HP at the end of every turn that Rain Dance is in effect.

    I may not be able to get the lotad today because I live in Virginia
    where the snow has been falling alot. This is also why I missed the Horsea event.

    With my luck I wasn’t able to get Lotad which really sucks! I really wanted both horsea and lotad but the weather didn’t allow it.
