Mudkip (Japanese: ミズゴロウ Mizugorou) is a Water-type Pokémon. Along with Treecko and Torchic, it is one of three starter Pokémon that can be chosen at the beginning of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.
Mudkip comes with the Ability Torrent, which increases the power of Water-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.
Biology
Physiology
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Mudkip can use the fin on their heads to detect subtle changes in air and water currents to sense information about its surroundings. When in water, Mudkip breathe using the gills on their cheeks. On land, they can powerfully lift large boulders by planting their four feet and heaving. They sleep by burying themselves in soil at the water's edge. Their large tail fin propels them through water with powerful acceleration. If they are faced with a tight situation in battle, Mudkip will become strong enough to crush rocks bigger than themselves.
Behavior
Habitat
Mudkip and members of its evolution family probably live in swamps or other wetlands.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Brock has a Marshtomp that he caught as a Mudkip in A Mudkip Mission. Since then, it has gotten significantly less screentime (and battle experience) than its Hoenn starter counterparts, Ash's Sceptile and May's Blaziken. It was the last of the three starters to evolve (in A Chip Off the Old Brock) and it never reached its final evolutionary stage like the others did.
Nicholai's starter Pokémon was a Mudkip. Sometime afterwards, his Mudkip evolved into a Marshtomp.
During Having a Wailord of a Time, Nurse Joy asks Ash and Max to look over a Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip while May was practicing for the upcoming Pokémon Contest. The Mudkip of this group was very young and cried easily.
Mudkip eggs were seen in A Mudkip Mission, when Old Man Swampy offered to let Brock see one hatch, and Brock accepts his offer with much enthusiasm. Next, a baby Mudkip is shown hatching from a Mudkip egg.

Trivia
- Mudkip is the only Template:Type2 starter to be quadrupedal, though its evolutions Marshtomp and Swampert are able to walk on either two or four feet.
- Mudkip is a frequently-mentioned meme on *chan sites, stemming from a comment on deviantART in which one user declared to another "i herd u liek mudkipz".
- Mudkip has a higher Defense than Treecko and Torchic.
- In a poll conducted by Nintendo of Europe, Mudkip was voted as the fan favorite, with Typhlosion and Blastoise close behind. This may have been due to the aforementioned meme.
- GameFAQs' sixth annual Character Battle has Mudkip as one of the characters in it, the inclusion most likely being because of the *chan meme.
Origin
This Pokémon is based on the mudpuppy.
Name origin
Mudkip's name is a combination of mud and skip, and was probably chosen because it sounds like mudskipper. Its Japanese name is probably based on 水 mizu, "water," and ムツゴロウ mutsugorō, "mudskipper."
In other languages
- German: Hydropi - Comes from a combination of hydro and mudpuppy.
- French: Gobou - The verb gober means to swallow and boue means mud.
- Korean: 물짱이 Muljjang-i - A combination of 'water' (물) and a word that is similar to a suffix referring to a 'specialist', 'professional' (장이).
