Brock obtained Marshtomp, as a Mudkip, in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. Mudkip lived at a pond where a number of Mudkip were {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} for the [[Pokémon League]]. While most of the Pokémon left the pond as they grew older, the one that Brock caught was already mature and acted as a guardian of the younger, smaller Mudkip. [[Old Man Swamp]], the owner of the pond, felt that the Pokémon League would not want to give a grown-up Mudkip to a beginning Trainer. Brock eventually befriended it after a few failed attempts. Soon, Mudkip, Brock, and Brock's other Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Lotad|Ludicolo}}, had to rescue a baby Mudkip from falling over a waterfall. They managed to save it, but just in time for an attack from the {{TRT}}. However, the Mudkip, along with Brock's Lotad, all used {{m|Water Gun}} on the ground by their mecha to make it sink into the ground, and [[Ash's Pikachu]] finished the job with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Old Man Swamp later suggested that Mudkip go with Brock, to which he happily agreed.

Mudkip was seen a little bit in [[Hoenn]], usually alongside Brock's Lombre. They would usually use a dual-Water Gun attack. Mudkip has also been used occasionally for searches by using the fin on top of its head. It, along with Pikachu, usually broke up fights between the other Pokémon in the group.

Initially as a Mudkip, it was distrustful of strangers and was very protective of those it cared for, similar to [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. This is shown in its debut appearance where it viewed Brock and the others as intruders of its land. Once Brock gained its trust, it turned into an extremely loyal Pokémon and felt safer around strangers. During its travels with Brock, it was shown to be more of a sensible type usually assisting {{AP|Pikachu}} in helping break up and resolve arguments between the other Pokémon. It's also friendly with younger Pokémon. When Mudkip became Marshtomp it retained the same personality but also had somewhat of a flirty side like its Trainer.

Brock's Marshtomp (Japanese: タケシのヌマクロー Takeshi's Numacraw) was the second Pokémon acquired by Brock in Hoenn, and his seventh altogether.

History

Mudkip's debut appearance

Hoenn

Brock obtained Marshtomp as a Mudkip in A Mudkip Mission. Mudkip lived at a pond on Dewford Island where Mudkip were bred for the Pokémon League. These Mudkip were to be distributed to beginning trainers as starter Pokémon when they got large enough. However, the Mudkip that Brock caught was already mature and it acted as a guardian of the younger and smaller Mudkip. Old Man Swamp, the owner of the pond, felt that the Pokémon League would not want to give a grown-up Mudkip to a beginning Trainer. Brock eventually befriended it after a few failed attempts. Later, Mudkip, Brock, and Brock's other Pokémon, Forretress and Lotad, had to rescue a baby Mudkip from falling over a waterfall. They managed to save it, but right after the ordeal they were attacked by Team Rocket. All of the Mudkip and Brock's Lotad used Water Gun on the ground around the mecha to make it sink into the ground, and Ash's Pikachu finished the job with Thunderbolt. Old Man Swamp later suggested that Mudkip go with Brock, to which it happily agreed.

As a Mudkip

In Turning Over a Nuzleaf!, Mudkip, along with Pikachu, Treecko, Corphish, Torchic, Silcoon and Lotad, were separated from the group after a Loudred attacked them. Mudkip and Pikachu attempted to lead the group of Pokémon as they searched for their Trainers. However, a group of Nuzleaf began to capture the Pokémon one by one after Corphish damaged the leaf on one of the Nuzleaf's heads. Mudkip and Pikachu were not captured and worked to save the others until Ash and the group arrived.

Brock and Marshtomp

Throughout the group's journey through Hoenn, Mudkip was usually seen alongside Brock's Lombre. The two were often called out to use a dual-Water Gun attack.

Kanto Battle Frontier

Brock decided to bring Mudkip with him across the Kanto region during Ash's Battle Frontier challenge.

In A Chip Off the Old Brock, Mudkip evolved into a Marshtomp when it was having a practice battle against Ash's Grovyle. It automatically learned Mud Shot upon evolution due to it becoming part Ground type. In the same episode, it became smitten with a Flaaffy, much like the way Brock was smitten by its Trainer.

In What I Did For Love!, Brock decided to enter the Gardenia Town Pokémon Contest in attempt to win the affections of a Pokémon Breeder named Yuma. Marshtomp was motivated to help its Trainer, so Brock decided to use it in the Battle Round of the Contest. It performed rather well, but was narrowly defeated by May's Eevee.

Brock left Marshtomp at the Pewter Gym when he decided to join Ash in the Sinnoh region.

Personality and characteristics

Initially, Mudkip was distrustful of strangers and was very protective of those it cared for, similar to Ash's Bulbasaur. This is shown in its debut appearance where it viewed Brock and the others as intruders of its land. Once Brock gained its trust, it turned into an extremely loyal Pokémon and felt safer around strangers. During its travels with Brock, it was shown to be more of a sensible type and it was seen assisting Pikachu in breaking up and resolving arguments between the other Pokémon. It is also friendly with younger Pokémon. When Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp it retained the same personality but also developed somewhat of a flirtatious side, like its Trainer, as seen in the episode A Chip Off the Old Brock when it fell madly in love with Mariah's Flaaffy.

Marshtomp was often used to help track down Team Rocket when they had stole a Pokémon. It used the fin on its head to detect vibrations in the ground that the criminals made while running away. This ability extended beyond just finding lost Pokémon, as it also used it in A Real Cleffa-Hanger to try to find Misty and Max.
