Seismitoad (Japanese: ガマゲロゲ, Hepburn: Gamageroge) (SYZ-mih-tohd) is a Water/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Seismitoad is a bulky, blue, bipedal toad-like Pokémon. Its underside and the speaker-like bumps found on various parts of its body are cyan with black edges around the belly. Its hands and feet have three bulbous digits. Additionally, Seismitoad have red eyes, cyan adornments on its legs, and a long tongue.

Behavior

In terms of ecological niches, however, they fulfill a very similar role to the Poliwag family (though they tend to inhabit muddier, oxygen-poor environments). They are notable for the numerous vibrating organs they have within their bumps, which they use to both communicate and defend themselves. Seismitoad are also infamous for the hallucinogenic toxin they secrete from their skin; while ingestion of Seismitoad toxin was not unheard of prior to the 1960s, it was not until a sensationalist article in a Kalos magazine was published that it became more commonplace (and illegal).Seismitoad are aloof Pokémon. They do not react much to the presence of humans. They almost always fight when they sense danger

Abilities

The various lumps on its body have varying capabilities. The ones on its head can shoot a paralyzing liquid, while the ones on its hands can be vibrated to increase its punching power. It can also vibrate the lumps as a source of torment for its opponents. The vibrations can also start an Earthquake, and the elderly often use the vibrations to massage themselves.

Evolution

Seismitoad is the evolved form of Palpitoad at level 36. It is the final form of Tympole.

Anime

• Sean's father's Seismitoad: Loaned to Sean and Glenn to battle Mick along with Sean's father's Scolipede, but was defeated by Ash's Pikachu and Krookodile(As a wild Krokorok).
• Edmund's Seismitoad:Battled Stephan's Sawk and had the upper hand until it tripped over Low Sweep.
• Hunter D's Seismitoad: Used to prevent Kyogre (SM120)'s poison from being treated, but was defaeted By Ash's Pikachu's Iron Tail.

Trivia

• Seismitoad's typing and color scheme make it somewhat similar to Swampert.
• It was revealed that Seismitoad was designed before its evolutionary relatives. As a result, the designers designed the Tympole line backwards starting with Seismitoad and ending with Tympole.
• Seismitoad and its pre-evolved forms are the only Unova Water-Type Pokémon that can't learn Dive.
• Seismitoad appears in Pokémon Rumble Blast as a boss, knowing normal boss moves as well as Mud Shot.
• It has a unique BST.
• It is related to the Croagunk line.
• It can be seen as the Unova counterpart to Poliwrath, as both represent the growth of tadpoles into frogs.
• It is the only non-Poison-type Pokémon to have the ability Poison Touch legitimately.
• It shares its category with Vibrava as the Vibration Pokémon.

Origin

Seismitoad is based on a toad and a loudspeaker. Its bumps appear to be based on headphones and the poison glands found on toads. It may be based on The Surinam Toad specifically (both can produce underwater vibrations), as well as the Goliath Frog (which is a huge frog, considering its size).

Etymology

Seismitoad comes from seismic and toad.
