From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Lombre (Japanese: ハスブレロ Hasubrero) is a dual-type Water/Grass Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Lotad starting at level 14 and evolves into Ludicolo when exposed to a Water Stone.

Biology

Lombre is a bipedal Pokémon that is mostly green with some light blue markings. Its face, ears, arms, and back are light blue. It has stubby, round ears, large eyes with small pupils, and a red bill-like mouth. There is a large lilypad on its head, which has a notch in it and resembles a sombrero. It has long arms with four red fingers and a thumb on each hand and feet with three toes. Its entire body is covered in a thin, slimy film that creates an unpleasant sensation when touched. It is sometimes mistaken for a human child.

Lombre is a nocturnal Pokémon that sleeps on a bed of water grass during the day. Very mischievous, this Pokémon will tug on fishing lines from underwater and pop out to startle people. It feeds on aquatic moss that grows on rocks in the riverbed.

Origin

Lombre appears to be based on a lily pad. Its appearance is similar to the kappa - a Japanese yōkai that has a water-filled dish on its head and a turtle-like beak. It also resembles a stereotypical Mexican folk dancer or mariachi performer with its sombrero-shaped head and the markings on its body resembling a charro jacket.

Name origin

Lombre may be a combination of lotus and hombre (Spanish for man). It may also derive from sombrero (Spanish for hat), similar to its Japanese name, or imber (Latin for rain).

Hasubrero may be a combination of 蓮 hasu (lotus) and sombrero. Its German name, Lombrero, mirrors this meaning.
