Lillipup is a puppy-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation Pokémon games. It is the first of a three-stage evolutionary line, with its evolved forms being Herdier and Stoutland.

Information

Lillipup is a young but intelligent Pokémon that is known for standing up to stronger opponents with great courage. However, they have been known to flee when at a disadvantage in battle. The long hair around Lillipup's face also acts as a type of radar which allows it to detect subtle changes in its environment.

It evolves into Herdier at Level 16.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, Lillipup is commonly found on Routes 1, 2 and 3.

Other Games

In Pokémon Rumble Blast, Lillipup was found at the meadow areas of Seabreeze Trail and Challenger's Ground.

Other Appearances

Other Media

• In the Pokémon anime, Lillipup was shown as one of Lenora's Pokémon and was able to defeat Ash's Tepig in battle. Lenora instead uses a Herdier during their rematch, and while the dubbed version has her state that it evolved from the Lillipup, this fact was not implied in the original Japanese version. Other Lillipup have made minor appearances.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, a Lillipup was shown during the Black/White arc as one of the Pokémon actors from White's BW Agency and was implied to specialize in stunts.

Trivia

• Its name seems to be a combination of either "li'l" (the abbreviation for little) or lilliputian (which refers to a small person or creature) with "pup".
