Marshtomp (Japanese: ヌマクロー Numacraw) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Mudkip starting at level 16, and evolves into Swampert starting at level 36.
Biology
Physiology
Marshtomp is a bipedal amphibious creature, mostly light-blue in color with orange and black accentuation. Marshtomp has a angular black fin on his head and an orange point on the ends of both cheeks, similar to those on Mudkip. Marshtomp has fairly long arms with three-fingered hands. Marshtomp’s underside is a lighter shade of blue, the coloration extending to above the circular patch of orange coloration on its belly. Marshtomp has legs with three small toes, and two black fins as its tails.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Several of Marshtomp’s attacks and notable abilities revolve around mud, which it can move through faster than it can through water. Mud Shot is one of Marshtomp's special moves because they learn it when they first evolve, and is commonly used by captive and wild Marshtomp alike. Due to a thin, sticky film enveloping its body, Marshtomp is able to live on land. However, Marshtomp becomes weakened if its skin dries out, so it replenishes fluids by playing in mud. Due to its sturdy legs, it has sure footing even in mud, enabling it to quickly overwhelm struggling foes. Marshtomp can utilize its fins like a radar. It is also sensitive to movements on the ground, even underground.
Behavior
Marshtomp can be mild mannered, but are very protective of their kind, and are known to hurl mud at foes, the trait growing fierce upon evolution. Due to its sure footing in mud, it is able to quickly overwhelm struggling foes. Marshtomp plays in mud on beaches when the ocean tide is low, and burrows into dirt to sleep.
Habitat
Marshtomp and members of its evolution family live in swamps and wetlands deep in isolated islands. They tend to dislike freshwater ponds, lakes, and riverbeds. Oddly they travel great distances to freshwater beaches to make their nests.

Trivia
- Marshtomp is the only middle evolution Water-type starter with two types.
- It is the only middle evolution of a starter Pokémon that can learn Earthquake.
- Marshtomp, and its evolution Swampert, are the only Water/Ground-type Pokémon that do not have HP as their highest stat.
Origin
Mashtomp is based on the mudpuppy or mudskipper. However, the single fin on Marshtomp's head is reminiscent of the Murmillo Helmet worn by murmillo-class Roman gladiators or the Corinthian Helmet (with a Horsehair Crest) which is worn by Greek Hoplites. "Murmillo" is also a Greek word for a type of saltwater fish.
Name origin
Marshtomp draws its name from a combination of marsh and stomp. The numa in Numacraw is probably 沼, swamp, and craw is the same as claw, since Japanese uses the same characters for both "l" and "r".
In other languages
- German: Moorabbel
- French: Flobio
- Korean: 늪짱이 Neupjjang-i - Combination of 늪 (swamp) and 장이 (specialist) changed slightly.
