Marshtomp (Japanese: ヌマクロー Numacraw) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Mudkip starting at level 16 and evolves into Swampert starting at level 36.
Marshtomp is an amphibious, bipedal Pokémon. Its body is primarily light blue with a lighter shade of blue for its underside and an orange belly. Its head has an angular blackfin, orange eyes, and orange gills on the ends of both cheeks. It has long arms with three-fingered hands. Its feet have three small toes, and it has two black fins for tails.
Marshtomp has a thin, sticky film enveloping its body that enables it to live on land. This development came from living on muddy ground where there is poor footing.
Despite this, this Pokémon is at its best when in this environment. Its body weakens if its skin dries out, so it plays in the mud on beaches when the tide is low to replenish fluids. It is capable of moving faster through mud than water. With its sturdy legs, it has a good footing in mud that allows it to overwhelm struggling opponents.
This species also lives in swamps and other wetlands.
