Trivia

• Marshtomp is the only second evolved form water starter with two types.

Origin

This Pokémon is based on the mudpuppy.

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 - The word 'swamp' (늪) and a suffix meaning 'specialist' changed (장이) combined.
