Marshtomp (Pokémon)

Marshtomp is an amphibious, bipedal Pokémon. Its body is primarily light blue with a lighter shade of blue for its underside and an orange belly. Marshtomp's head has an angular black fin, orange eyes, and orange gills on the ends of both cheeks. It has long arms with three-fingered hands. Its feet have three small toes, and it has two black fins for tails.

This Pokémon has a thin, sticky film enveloping its body that enables it to live on land. This development came from living on muddy ground where there is poor footing. Despite this, Marshtomp is at its best when in this environment. Its body weakens if its skin dries out, so it plays in the mud on beaches when the tide is low to replenish fluids. It is capable of moving faster through mud than water. With its sturdy legs, it has a good footing in mud that allows it to overwhelm struggling opponents. Marshtomp lives in swamps and other wetlands.

In Generation III, Muddy Water was its signature move.

Pokémon Adventures

Main article: Mumu

Ruby's Mudkip, nicknamed Mumu, evolved upon his arrival at Slateport City in Tripped Up by Torkoal, which Ruby was happy to record a video of. Afterwards, he was used in a battle with Magma Admin Blaise as Ruby escaped the villain using his knowledge of Pokéblocks and Natures that determine preference. After again being forced to battle with yet another Magma Admin, this time in the form of Courtney, he became a Swampert, though this time Ruby was too depressed after his fight with Sapphire to commemorate this occasion.

Pokémon Battle Frontier

A Marshtomp appeared in Enta Arrives at the Battle Frontier!.

Gotta Meme 'em All: Mudkip and Marshtomp, here in the track

• Marshtomp is the only middle evolved form of a Water-type first partner Pokémon with two types.
• Marshtomp and its evolved form Swampert are the only first partner Pokémon to have a 4× weakness against another first partner Pokémon type (Grass).
• Marshtomp is the only evolution of a first partner Pokémon (as of Generation III) that can be used in Pokémon Jump.

Origin

Marshtomp is based on the mudpuppy or mudskipper. It may also be based on the axolotl or gilled African lungfish, like its pre-evolved form. The single fin on Marshtomp's head is reminiscent of the Murmillo helmet worn by murmillo-class Roman gladiators or the Corinthian helmet (with a horsehair crest), which was worn by Greek Hoplites with "murmillo" being the Greek word for a type of saltwater fish.

Name origin

Marshtomp may be a combination of marsh and stomp.

Numacraw may be a combination of 沼 numa (swamp) and crawfish (crayfish, a freshwater crustacean), crawl, or claw.
