Palpitoad (Japanese: ガマガル Gamagaru) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Tympole starting at level 25 and evolves into Seismitoad starting at level 36.
Biology
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 waves and earthquakes, as well as intense sounds to weaken its prey. The larger a Palpitoad's lumps are, the wider the range of sounds it can make.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ash's Palpitoad
In Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!, a male Palpitoad commanded a group of Tympole to attack Ash'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.

Trivia
- Palpitoad and its evolved form share their category with Vibrava. They are all known as the Vibration Pokémon.
Origin
Palpitoad appears to be based on a toad tadpole. Its lumps may be inspired by toads' "warts" (known as parotoid glands), combined with loudspeaker drivers. This connection may stem from the croaking behavior seen with male frogs, which do so to attract mates. It may also be inspired by the common Surinam toad, an aquatic amphibian whose back is covered in pockets that hold its eggs. Its Pokédex entry mentions the fact that it creates vibrations underwater, much like how the common Surinam toad is able to sense vibrations underwater.
Palpitoad and Tympole's designs were worked backwards from Seismitoad's design.[1]
Name origin
Palpitoad may be a combination of palpitation (pulsation) and toad.
Gamagaru may be derived from 蝦蟇 gamagaeru (Japanese common toad).
