Diet

In the anime
Surskit first appeared in Maxxed Out. It was owned by a boy named Max, the doppelganger of May's little brother, who intends for it to be his Starter Pokémon. This made May's brother jealous as he did not know what his Starter Pokémon would be at that time.
In Destiny Deoxys, a Surskit was owned by Kathryn. The Pond Skater Pokémon's only major role was helping to rotate the fan blades of the windmills in LaRousse City.
May faced against a Surskit in the Izabe Island Contest during A Cacturne for the Worse. Harley tricked May into thinking that Surskit was an extremely slow Pokémon and nearly lost due to this lie.
A coordinator named Brianna used a Surskit in the appeals round of the Pokémon Contest in Spontaneous Combusken.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Surskit.
- Surskit is the only Pokémon that, when it evolves, loses its Template:Type2.
- Surskit is, along with Wingull and Magikarp, the only Water-type that cannot learn Surf.
- Due to Misty's fear of Bug-type Pokémon and her love of Water-types, it would be interesting to see how she would react to Surskit.
Origin
This Pokémon is based on the water strider.
Name origin
Surskit's name comes from a combination of surf and skit. Ametama is probably a combination of 雨 ame, rain, and 玉 tama, sphere, although the latter could also be 魂 tama, spirit. The Japanese name could also include アメンボ amenbo, pond skater.
