Mudkip (ミズゴロウ Mizugorou) is a Water-type Pokémon from the Pokémon universe.
Creature description[]
Mudkip's original design for the Generation III games
A Mudkip is a small, blue quadruped similar to a mudskipper fish. It breathes underwater using the gills on its cheeks and travels by propelling itself with its large tail fin, and it sleeps by burying itself in soil at the water's edge. The fin on its head functions as highly sensitive radar; it senses movements of the air when it is on ground or the water when it is underwater to determine what is taking place around it without using its eyes. For its size, it is very powerful, able to lift large boulders by planting its four feet and heaving, and also able to shatter said boulders, which helps it defend itself in a tight situation in a battle.
In the third generation of Pokémon games and media, Mudkip is the resident Water-type Starter Pokémon. It evolves into Marshtomp, then evolves into Swampert, a Water/Ground type that is very practical in competitive play.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]
Mudkip, along with all of the other Gen 1-4 starters, appears as a random trophy.
