Lombre Description

Lombre is the evolved form of Lotad and the middle stage of the Lotad evolution line. It is a Water and Grass-type Pokemon that lives near water, becomes active at night and evolves into Ludicolo with a Water Stone.

Competitive Overview

Is Lombre Good in Competitive?

Lombre can work as a rain-supported middle-stage Pokemon thanks to Swift Swim, Rain Dish and useful moves such as Fake Out, Giga Drain and Water attacks. It is usually more flexible than Lotad but still less powerful than Ludicolo.

Lombre’s strengths are its Water and Grass typing, access to support moves and rain synergy. Its main issue is that Ludicolo usually outclasses it once evolution is available.
