Lombre

Say it: LO-mbr-e

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Lombre is the Jolly Pokémon — Water and Grass middle stage between Lotad and Ludicolo. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Ludicolo — not a finished raid attacker. Water/Grass hits Fire, Ground, and Rock well; Bug, Flying, Poison, and especially Ice punish it. Evolve Lotad up the line.

Lombre (#271) is a Water / Grass Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Lotad. Trainers almost never power Lombre for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Ludicolo. Against Lombre, lead with Bug, Flying, Poison, or Ice. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
