Seedot (Japanese:タネボーTaneboh) is aGrass-typePokémon introduced inGeneration III.

Itevolves intoNuzleaf starting at level 14, which evolves intoShiftry when exposed to aLeaf Stone.

Biology

Seedot is a small, brownplantPokémon that resembles an acorn. A beige, mask-like pattern covers its large black eyes, and it has two beige feet. It has a gray "cap" with a short stem on top of its head. The stem is used to hang from tree branches in itsforest home. While hanging, this Pokémon absorbs moisture and nutrients from the tree until it becomes too heavy and falls to the ground. The more it drinks, the glossier its body becomes. Additionally, Seedot polishes itself with leaves once daily. If it remains still, it can be mistaken for a nut and startles others by moving suddenly. It also uses this strategy to be taken by bird Pokémon to expand on its habitat.

Evolution

Seedot evolves intoNuzleaf, which evolves intoShiftry.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer toGame data→Evolution data.)
