Swampert

Swampert (Japanese: ラグラージ Raguraazu) is the /-type Starter Pokémon of the Hoenn region, introduced in Generation III.

Physiology
Swampert is an amphibious quadrupedal Pokémon that resembles both a mudskipper and an axolotl. It has a long blueish/white body with a lighter blue underbelly. It has four appendages that are a cross between legs and fins. With these, it sometimes stands upright on its hind legs, and at other times is on all fours like a quadrupedal animal. Each has an orange oval on it. Swampert has large, fan-shaped fins above its eyes and a huge axe-like fin growing out of its behind as a prosaic tail would. It also has a pair of orange gills on either side of its face. It also has very small orange eyes.

Special Abilities
Swampert has Torrent ability, which lets it have its Water-type moves boosted when damaged enough. When it mega evolves, its ability becomes Swift Swim.

Evolution
Swampert is the final evolution of the Hoenn Starter Pokémon Mudkip. It evolves from Marshtomp at level 36. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Swampert can further evolve into Mega Swampert if it holds a Swampertite.

Etymology
This Pokémon's name comes from swamp, a place where many /-type Pokémon would likely be found, and rampart, meaning a fortification, which probably refers to its habit of piling up boulders to protect itself. It could also come from the word expert, as it is very capable in a swamp-like area.
