Lombre

Lombre's unusual traits

Bulbapedia notes that Lombre's evolutionary line is the only one with a dual Egg Group of Water 1 and Grass, the only line that can have the Ability Rain Dish without it being a Hidden Ability, and the only Water-type line in the Grass Egg Group, as well as the only Grass-type line in the Water 1 Egg Group.

Lombre on cardboard

Lombre's first card is a 2003 Sandstorm Uncommon illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya, joined the same set by Mitsuhiro Arita's printing. The line continued through Deoxys with Uncommons from Atsuko Nishida and Ken Sugimori, and through Kagemaru Himeno's Crystal Guardians card. Later eras added Midori Harada's Platinum Uncommon, Suwama Chiaki's Plasma Storm printing, and Naoyo Kimura's Primal Clash card, plus a pair of XY trainer Kit (Latias) Uncommons released together in 2015. Atsuko Nishida returned for a 2018 Celestial Storm Uncommon, Miki Tanaka illustrated a Rebel Clash printing, and the line reached the Mega Evolution era in 2025's Phantasmal Flames Common by Shigenori Negishi.
