Lollidona is a plant in the shape of a human girl. She has purple skin, green leaves on her head that take on the form of a wig, and two leaf arms. She also has a pink-and-blue flower in her hair, and large pink eyes as well as pink cheeks. Her small mouth, however, hides a deadly set of razor-sharp triangular teeth. Her dress is also pink and blue to match the flower, and covers two skinny root-like legs that are used for walking rather than absorbing nutrients.
Gender Differences[]
Lollidona is a female-only species with no male counterpart.
Special abilities[]
Lollidona, like many other Grass-types, becomes faster in sunlight. She is also able to learn numerous Grass-type moves, such as Vine Whip and Leech Seed to immobilize her prey. She can use Sweet Scent to distract opponents, and when she strikes she can also use several Poison type moves such as Poison Sting, Cross Poison, and Gastro Acid to nullify her opponent's abilities. She is also active at night, and can even use several Dark- and Ghost-type moves such as Night Slash and Nightshade.
Lollidona, along with her evolution, Bellustona, are the only Pokemon that can learn Delerium via level-up.
Habitat[]
She lives in forests, although she can also be seen in meadows absorbing sunlight or waiting for prey.
Diet[]
Being a Grass-type, Lollidona can absorb sunlight to process carbohydrates. But since she also needs other nutrients such as proteins to stay healthy, Lollidona is also carnivorous, like several other Grass-types. Strangely, the only live victims she eats tend to be male, and she lures them in with her scent and courting behavior before attacking and devouring them.
In Iron & Copper[]
Brock's Lollidona[]
Lollidona first appeared in Battling Up the Wrong Tree, as a leader of a group of forest Pokemon that were all male, courtesy of being attracted to her. She developed a special interest in Brock, and after helping the kids defeat Team Rocket, she joined his team at the end of the episode. She has taken over his Croagunk in keeping Brock away from attractive women, using Leech Seed to drain his energy and enable her to drag him away.

Although Lollidona is based on the deadly nightshade, it can only learn the move through breeding.
Origin[]
Lollidona is based on Atropa belladonna, often referred to as belladona or the deadly nightshade. This plant's foliage and berries contain toxins that can induce hallucinations given a proper dose, which may explain her Poison-type. The fact that she is in the Humanshape egg group, and that she resembles a human girl, may be based off lolita fashion and/or the lolita complex.
Name origin[]
Lollidona's English name is a corruption of its Japanese name, which comes from "loli," short for "lolita," and belladona, the species name for the deadly nightshade.
