Mudkip (Japanese: ミズゴロウ Mizugorou) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Marshtomp starting at level 16, which evolves into Swampert starting at level 36.
Along with Treecko and Torchic, Mudkip is one of three starter Pokémon of Hoenn available at the beginning of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
Biology
Physiology
Mudkip is a small, blue, amphibious Pokémon with a large head, wide mouth, black, beady eyes and orange, star-shaped external gills on its cheeks. It also has a fin on the top of its head and a light-blue fin for a tail. It moves around on all four legs, and has a light-blue underside.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Mudkip can use the fin on its head to detect subtle changes in air and water currents, and can detect nearby bodies of water. In this way, it can also detect danger. Its fin can also point in a certain direction, as seen in Date Expectations. Like most Water-type Pokémon, Mudkip can shoot water from its mouth. When in the water, Mudkip breathes using the gills on its cheeks. On land, it can powerfully lift large boulders by planting its four feet and heaving. If it is faced with a tight situation in battle, Mudkip will become strong enough to crush rocks bigger than itself.
Behavior
Mudkip is more mellow than its evolutions, but is protective of its kind and, because of its powerful strength, it groups up in numbers and easily overpower its foes. Mudkip has been known to be playful, especially in mud, as well. It sleeps by burying itself in soil at the water's edge. Its large tail fin propels it through water with powerful acceleration.
Habitat
Mudkip and members of its evolution family dwell in swamps or other wetlands, deep inside isolated islands. Soon after birth on beautiful beaches, it swims to swamps deep within islands.

- Main article: Mumu
In Pokémon Adventures, when Ruby was attacked by Sapphire's Torchic, Professor Birch told him to look in his briefcase, to pick up the Poké Ball with a blue Pokémon and to throw it. The Poké Ball released a Mudkip and he nicknamed it Mumu. At the beginning, Ruby was disappointed with it because it wasn't as attractive as his other Pokémon and it couldn't participate in any Pokémon Contest. He tried with different conditions and then decided that Tough Contests would be perfect for it. Mumu eventually evolved into a Marshtomp and then into a Swampert.
