Lilligant (Pokémon)

**Lilligant** (Japanese: **ドレディア**  *Dredear*) is a Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Petilil when exposed to a Sun Stone.

## Biology

Lilligant is a humanoid Pokémon with plant characteristics. It dons a scarlet flower with white-spotted petals upon its head; said flower has golden filaments with red anther, resembling a crown. It possesses dark green, linear leaves under the flower, and light green, linear leaves underneath the darker leaves. One of the light green leaves, on the back of its head, is about as long as its body and resembles hair. Two light green leaves loosely hang down from its head. Its head and abdomen are white and its eyes, which resemble seeds, are a light shade of scarlet. It has dark green, linear leaves for arms, and a golden sepal under its neck. It wears a large, light green, tulip shaped collection of leaves, resembling a dress. There are two long, dark green, linear leaves coming from its back to around the bottom of its "dress". It also possesses another golden, sepal-shaped extension underneath its "dress", resembling feet.

Though Lilligant is popular with celebrities, veteran Trainers and first-rate gardeners alike have struggled to coax the flower on Lilligant's head into blooming. The flowers bloomed by Lilligant in the wild are also said to be the most beautiful despite all these efforts. Once it blooms, it will wilt if Lilligant is then neglected or when it finds a male partner. The flower emits a sweet-smelling aroma, and it is believed to have a relaxing effect on those exposed to the scent. The flower's fragrance differs slightly depending on the soil it was cultivated in. The oil made by Lilligant's flowers has a sublime scent and is very expensive to buy. It is a rare Pokémon that lives in forests. Lilligant is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

### Origin

From its name and the curvature of its petals, Lilligant may be based on a lily, but the relaxing smell of its flower is more akin to orange, pomelo, mandarin orange, or carnation flowers, all of which are used in essential oils for aromatherapy. With this, the leaves of its body may also be based on essential oil ingredients like spearmint and peppermint. Its crown and dress may be derived from Western high-class women's fashion during 1750–1775. It could also be based on a dancer since its lower body resembles a ball gown, and several of the moves that it learns by leveling up contain the word "Dance".

#### Name origin

Lilligant may be a combination of *lily* and *elegant*.

Dredear may be a combination of *dress*, *dear*, *lady*, and *Dianthus*.
