===Physiology===
Hippowdon is a large, hippo-like Pokémon with skin color based on its gender. It is light brown if male, and black if female. It has a dark gray back and muzzle with several holes in them. Sand often spills out of the ports on its back and its nostrils. This sand is stored internally, and is used to create twisters when attacking. It has a large, rounded snout, a mouth filled with peg-like teeth, and red eyes. Hippowdon has black feet with four blunt claws each. It is short-tempered, and may hold its mouth agape as a display of strength. Hippowdon's massive jaws are capable of crushing cars.

Hippowdon (Japanese: カバルドン Kabaldon) is a Ground-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Hippopotas starting at level 34.

Biology

Hippowdon is a large, hippo-like Pokémon with skin color based on its gender. It is light brown if male, and black if female. It has a dark gray back and muzzle with several holes in them. Sand often spills out of the ports on its back and its nostrils. This sand is stored internally, and is used to create twisters when attacking. It has a large, rounded snout, a mouth filled with peg-like teeth, and red eyes. Hippowdon has black feet with four blunt claws each. It is short-tempered, and may hold its mouth agape as a display of strength. Hippowdon's massive jaws are capable of crushing cars.

In the anime

Hippowdon in the anime

Major appearances

Hippowdon made its anime debut in Sleight of Sand!. This Hippowdon was the father of the Hippopotas that Ash and his friends rescued in Mass Hip-Po-Sis!. Dr. Namba charged Cassidy and Butch with the job of obtaining a sample of the sand that Hippowdon shoots out.

Jessie used a Hippowdon in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!

Bertha's Hippowdon appeared in An Elite Coverup! where it was used in a battle against Ash's Torterra.

Minor appearances

Multiple Hippowdon made cameo appearances in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

A Hippowdon briefly appeared in Working on a Right Move! under the ownership of a Trainer where it was defeated in the Lily of the Valley Conference by another Trainer's Tangrowth.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP065 Hippowdon Dawn's Pokédex Hippowdon, the Heavyweight Pokémon. It creates an enormous tornado of sand by blowing sand out of the holes in its body, and its mouth is over 6 feet in diameter.
DP170 Hippowdon Ash's Pokédex Hippowdon, the Heavyweight Pokémon. As surprisingly fierce Pokémon, Hippowdon opens its giant mouth to intimidate adversaries.

In the manga

Hippowdon in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

A wild Hippowdon first appeared in Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas, where Dr. Footstep set up a sticky carpet to collect its footprint, "finally" succeeding in extracting one from a Hippowdon. This, however, earned the ire of the Pokémon, which proceeded to send him and the three Sinnoh trainers flying with its Sand Tomb. As a result, Diamond and Platinum landed in the outskirts of Lake Verity, away from Pearl and Footstep, and promptly had to face two Super Nerds hired by Team Galactic to drive out intruders.

Like in the games, Bertha has a Hippowdon. However, it has not been seen battling.

Trivia

Origin

Hippowdon is based on a hippopotamus. Because of the spouts upon its back that constantly spit sands, Hippowdon and its preevolution may be based upon the legendary Bahamut as, in some accounts of the myths behind it, it is said to support a bed of sand and have the head of a hippo.

Name origin

Hippowdon is a combination of hippopotamus, power, powder (as in sand), or pow (onomatopoeia for a bodily hit), and don (Spanish for lord; Ancient Greek for tooth).

Kabaldon is a combination of 河馬 kaba (hippopotamus) and don.
