Oddish looks like a blue plant bulb with feet, eyes, and five small leaves sprouting from its head.
They scatter poisonous spores as they walk.
They stay underground during the day, only to come out at night.
Oddish live in grassy plains, and can also be found in tropical areas such as jungles, and swamps, where the ground is rich in nutrients. They are very common.
Oddish most likely absorb some nutrients from the ground when they are buried.
Oddish is most likely based on a mandrake.
Oddish's name is a combination of the words "odd", and the vegetable known as "radish," although "oddish" is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd.
