Palpitoad

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palpitoad are blue, ovoid Pokémon resembling living loudspeakers. They have a Tan oval with a black outline on their front, and have small tails that lack a fin. Its feet are small and stubby with just 3 toes. Their outline has 5 bumps, with 2 small bumps easily mistaken for hands and 3 big ones near the top.
=== Behavior ===
Palpitoad live in groups of anywhere from six to twelve members. They cannot stray far from the water's edge, however, as they must keep their skin moist in order to breathe properly (as they essentially breathes through their thin skin). Because they lack arms, Palpitoad rely primarily on their tails for balance. They use their long, sticky tongues to catch flying insects in midair.By vibrating the bumps around their bodies, they can create small tremors on land or ripples in water; this helps scare out prey for them to catch. In the evening during mating season, groups of Palpitoad are often found perched on rocks near the shore. They can be heard executing complex rhythms as a part of their mating rituals by vibrating their circular growths in various patterns. At the end of these songs, the individuals that created the most beautiful rhythms are the most likely to be chosen as mates. Palpitoad with larger bumps can produce a greater range of pitches, thus giving them an advantage in song composition. A few trained Palpitoad have even been able to compose songs aimed to please human listeners.
===Natural Abilities===
Palpitoad can vibrate their bumps to create mini earthquakes or waves. Since it is a toad, it is amphibious. Their tongue is sticky and is used to ensnare prey and cause paralysis.
==Evolution==
Palpitoad is the evolved form of Tympole. It is the pre-evolved form of Seismitoad.
