Brock's Marshtomp (Japanese: ヌマクロー Numacraw) was the second Pokémon acquired by Brock in Hoenn, and his seventh altogether. Its Japanese voice actor is 三木眞一郎 Shinichirō Miki (林原めぐみ Megumi Hayashibara when it was a Mudkip).

Brock caught Mudkip in episode AG025. Mudkip lived at a pond where a number of Mudkip were bred. 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. It joined Brock and left the pond after he helped it rescue itself and the younger Mudkip from a Team Rocket attack.

In AG148, Mudkip evolved into a Marshtomp during a training battle versus Ash's Grovyle. It then became smitten with a Flaaffy, while Brock lusted for its trainer.

Marshtomp is among the better-behaved of the Pokémon that belong to Brock, Ash and May. It is often seen helping Ash's Pikachu break up scuffles between Pokémon. Being a Water-type Pokémon, it usually worked with Brock’s Ludicolo to launch double Water Gun attacks. It is also called upon to search for things underwater. It is also often used to help track down a missing Pokémon or object (usually due to Team Rocket stealing it) using the fin on its head as a radar.
