Trivia
- Marshtomp is the only first evolved form water starter with two types.
- Marshtomp is the only middle evolution of a starter Pokémon that can learn Earthquake.
Origin
- This Pokémon is based on the mudpuppy or mudskipper.
- 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.
