Palpitoad (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fifth Pokémon generation in the Black and White games. It evolves from Tympole starting at level 25 and evolves into Seismitoad starting at level 36.

Physiology and Behaviour[]

Palpitoad is an amphibious, bipedal Pokémon with an ovoid body. It is mostly blue, with a tan oval marking lined with black stretching from the bottom of its belly to its forehead. Its black eyes are round. Its upper lip is round as well and curves down sharply at the corners. Inside its mouth is a long, sticky tongue used to immobilize and capture prey. Its feet are small with three toes each, and its tail is oval and white. Three large, half-spheres encircle its head, each one light blue with a black base. There are four round, light blue bumps starting on either side of its lower body and stretching across its back. The bumps on its head can be vibrated to create either waves or earthquakes.

In the anime []

In Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!, a male Palpitoad commanded a group of Tympole to attack Ash Ketchum's Oshawott, who was trying to retrieve seaweed to heal his poisoned friends. After they failed scaring Oshawott away, he fought Oshawott alongside a Stunfisk, only for both to be caught by Ash and Cilan, respectively.
