Lileep

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Lileep is the Sea Lily Pokémon — Rock and Grass before Cradily. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Cradily — not a finished raid attacker. Rock/Grass hits Water, Flying, and Ice angles; Fighting, Bug, Steel, and Ice punish it. Revive from Fossils, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Against Lileep, lead with Fighting, Bug, Steel, or Ice. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
