(Japanese: ポッチャマ Pochama) is a Water-type Pokémon. Along with Naetle and Hikozaru, it is one of the three starter Pokémon available at the beginning of the Generation IV games.

Pochama comes with the ability Torrent, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Name origin

Pochama may be derived from 坊っちゃま botchama, meaning child, with the P perhaps coming from penguin. It may also be based on ぽちゃぽちゃ pochapocha, which means either splashing in water or having a plump appearance.

Pochama is based on a penguin.
