Mudkip

() is the -type First partner Pokémon of the Hoenn region, introduced in Generation III.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mudkip is a small, quadrupedal amphibious Pokémon that resembles mudskipper fishes and axolotls. It is cyan blue in color, with a light blue neck, underbelly and a tail. It has a large upright segmented fin atop its head, and large orange cheeks with three pointed whisker-like feelers on each. It has short legs and small paws with three toes on each, and a very large fin-like tail.
===Behavior===
When sleeping, they bury themselves within the soil at the edge of the water. Mudkip and members of its evolution family dwell in swamps or other wetlands, deep inside isolated islands, due to their dislike of freshwater lakes and ponds.
===Natural abilities===
The fin on a Mudkip's head can be used for sensing air and water currents, and can discern nearby bodies of water. The fin can sense danger as well, giving Mudkip a warning. Mudkips breathe underwater using the gills on their cheeks, and their powerful tails drive them through the water quickly. Mudkip can lift big boulders. In a pinch, Mudkips will find strength enough to crush even rocks that are bigger than themselves.
===Habitat===
Mudkip are born on beaches, and then swim to swamps on remote islands to live. Very few Mudkip are hatched in swamps. Mudkip and its evolutions tend to live in swamps and wetlands because of their dislike of fresh water ponds and lakes. They are an uncommon sight in the wild.
==Evolution==
Mudkip evolves into Marshtomp at level 16, then into Swampert at level 36, Swampert can Mega evolve into Mega Swampert when Steven Stone gives you the Swampertite on Route 120.
