Ash's Palpitoad (Japanese: サトシのガマガル Satoshi's Gamagaru) was the seventh Pokémon that Ash obtained in the Unova region, and his forty-first overall.

History

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

Palpitoad and Stunfisk

Palpitoad debuted in Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!, where he was the leader of a group of wild Tympole that lived in a lake. Ash and Oshawott had unknowingly invaded his territory while looking for an underwater plant to help his, Cilan's, and Iris's Pokémon heal after being poisoned by wild Foongus that were disturbed by Ash's Scraggy. Palpitoad was angered by their intrusion, and ordered his Tympole cohorts to attack them. When they swam away in fear of Oshawott, he called upon his friend, Stunfisk's, help. However, when Cilan fished Stunfisk out of the water, Palpitoad was forced to face Oshawott himself. Despite knowing some powerful moves, the Vibration Pokémon lost to Oshawott's newly mastered Aqua Jet, and was caught by Ash.

In Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!, he was used in the Club Battle Tournament against Burgundy's Stoutland. Despite being his first battle with Ash as his Trainer, the two synchronized well, avoiding Stoutland's attacks and dealing out powerful blows. Eventually, Palpitoad was caught in Stoutland's mouth when it used Thunder Fang, though he avoided damage from the Electric-type move, being part Ground-type. However, Burgundy took the chance, and ordered an Ice Fang attack, which became a problem for Palpitoad until he used Supersonic to shatter the ice, and knock Stoutland back. After blocking Stoutland's Fire Fang with Mud Shot, Palpitoad won the match with a direct hit from Hydro Pump. In Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!, Palpitoad battled Dino's Darumaka in the semifinals and won with a single Hydro Pump, allowing Ash to move on to the finals.

Palpitoad facing Zebstrika

In Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!, Palpitoad was used in Ash's Gym battle against Elesa. Being immune to Electric-type moves, Palpitoad was the ideal choice for this battle, and was Ash's sole strategy. Palpitoad took many ineffective hits from Zebstrika's Flame Charge and a Double Kick attack, proving unable to dodge. As Zebstrika headed towards Palpitoad using Quick Attack, Ash commanded a Supersonic attack, which blocked and confused Zebstrika. Palpitoad then finished the match with a Mud Shot, followed by a Hydro Pump. Palpitoad showed signs of fatigue after Elesa recalled Zebstrika, so both Iris and Cilan suggested that Ash should recall him and switch to another Pokémon. Ash, however, decided to stick with Palpitoad when Elesa brought out Emolga. However, Palpitoad found himself unable to keep up with Emolga's fast moves, and was hit by an Acrobatics attack, and several Aerial Ace attacks before he was hit with Emolga's Attract, causing him to become immobilized by infatuation. After another couple more hits from Aerial Ace, Palpitoad was knocked out, ruining Ash's strategy for the battle, but Ash later regained his composure and won.

Palpitoad and Ash

In Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2, Ash used Palpitoad as his fifth Pokémon during his Gym battle against Roxie and her final and strongest Pokémon, Garbodor. Palpitoad first tried to use Mud Shot on the Trash Heap Pokémon, but Garbodor used its extendable arms to raise itself from the floor and dodge the attack. As Garbodor attacked with Hyper Beam, Palpitoad used Hydro Pump to block it. Palpitoad then tried another Mud Shot, but it was blocked and countered by a Gunk Shot attack, which poisoned Palpitoad as it hit. Garbodor attacked Palpitoad two times with Venoshock, being twice as powerful because of the poison, and he was knocked out.

In Strong Strategy Steals the Show!, Ash used Palpitoad in his Vertress Conference battle against Stephan and his Zebstrika. At the beginning of the battle Zebstrika was too fast for Palpitoad and avoided its Mud Shot before striking back with Double-Edge and Stomp. However, Palpitoad was shown to have learned a new move, Sludge Wave, which caused Zebstrika to become poisoned when the attack hit. Despite this, Zebstrika was able to fight back, even using the poison as an advantage when using Facade, which did a lot of damage to Palpitoad. Ultimately Palpitoad managed to hit Zebstrika with Supersonic, causing it to damage itself due to confusion. Palpitoad then managed to launch a hit with Hydro Pump. Stephan in turn ordered a Giga Impact which sent Palpitoad flying. However, Palpitoad managed to fire a Mud Shot while in the air just before crashing into a wall, fainting. The match ended with a tie as Zebstrika fainted at the same time from the Mud Shot Palpitoad managed to execute.

Palpitoad meeting Goh

In Farewell, Unova! Setting Sail for New Adventures!, Professor Juniper sent Palpitoad to Professor Oak's Laboratory before Ash left for Kanto, touring through the Decolore Islands. He later reunited with Ash and the entire Unova team at Oak's lab in The Dream Continues!. Palpitoad joined in with them to launch a group attack on Team Rocket, using Mud Shot to send them blasting off for the final time in Pokémon the Series: Black & White. Palpitoad later posed in a group photo with the rest of Ash's Pokémon. Then, he was left at the lab when Ash set off for the Kalos region.

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

Palpitoad encouraging Pikachu in a vision

Palpitoad, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!. During the visit, he and Gible took a special interest in Goh, and they later watched the battle between Ash and Paul. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.

From Battling as Hard as Stone! onwards, Palpitoad watched Ash's Masters Eight Tournament matches against Steven, Cynthia, and Leon. In Partners in Time!, Palpitoad appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against Leon's Charizard. After Ash won the battle, Palpitoad joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.

In Heroes Unite!, Palpitoad, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.

In The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!, Palpitoad was seen playing with Ash during his time in Pallet Town.

Personality and characteristics

Palpitoad was once a rowdy Pokémon, and he liked to be the boss over others, such as when he commanded a group of Tympole and a Stunfisk to attack Ash and his Oshawott in Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!. Palpitoad is also very protective over what he claims as his own, such as territory, as shown in the same instance. In the Club Battle Tournament, Palpitoad was revealed to be capable of putting up a strong fight against his opponents. Since he shares a love for battling with Ash, Palpitoad seems satisfied to have Ash as his Trainer, and they were able to work well together, despite only recently being caught at the time and the tournament being the first battle Palpitoad participated in with his Trainer. Palpitoad is also physically tough, as he can endure attacks easily as shown in the Gym battle with Elesa and in the battle against Stephan.

Trivia

Like Dawn's Togekiss, there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of Palpitoad's size. In his debut appearance, he was similar to the size of Ash's Oshawott. However, in his second appearance, he is shown to go up to Ash's waist. Later, in Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!, he appears to be the same size as he was in his first appearance.
Palpitoad is the only one of Ash's Water- and Ground-type Pokémon to be in its mid-evolutionary stage.
Palpitoad is Ash's first:
- Evolved Water-type Pokémon since his Krabby evolved into Kingler in Round One - Begin!, 614 episodes earlier.
- Dual Water-type since he caught his Lapras in The Lost Lapras, 605 episodes earlier.
- Pokémon that he caught in its evolved state since his Noctowl, which he caught in Fowl Play!, 535 episodes earlier.
Of all of main characters' Pokémon, Palpitoad has been absent from the greatest number of episodes in a row while still being in rotation at the time: 36 episodes, spanning from after Strong Strategy Steals the Show! to before The Dream Continues!.
Palpitoad is Ash's only Pokémon to use a Poison-type move to not be a Poison-type himself.
Of all the Pokémon that Ash currently has in his possession, Palpitoad has made the fewest amount of appearances, having appeared in only 15 episodes to date.
