Marshtomp

() is the /-type First partner Pokémon of the Hoenn region, introduced in Generation III. 
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Marshtomp is a bipedal amphibious Pokémon and just like Mudkip it too resembles both a mudskipper and an axolotl. It is mainly turquoise blue with a plump orange belly and orange spikes on its cheeks. It has dark blue fins on its body: one sharply pointed one atop its head, and two rounded ones on its backside. Its chin and neck are light blue. It has long, powerful arms with fin-like fingers, and short powerfully-built legs. Its small ovular eyes are orange, and it has small nostrils.
===Behavior===
Marshtomp can often be found in muddy estuaries, both near the sea as well as inland. They spend much of their time out of the water; a sticky, mucus-like film coating their skin keeps them moist and prevents air from drying them out. To rehydrate, Marshtomp will play in the mud. Curiously enough, they can actually use their powerful hind legs to travel faster through mud than through clean water. Marshtomp burrow in the mud to sleep. Individuals who live near the ocean sometimes emerge at low tide to play on the beach, while those inland may splash around at the water's edge. Living in soft mud with poor footing is what pressured them to develop such strong hind legs, enabling them to stand firm even in the muck.
===Natural abilities===
They can swim quickly in the water. With their two orange horns on its left and right cheeks, they can easily find ways to escape from a place if they sense danger. This Pokémon's sure stance will stay sturdy even in shifting mud, and love to burrow into moist dirt to sleep. In a pinch, Marshtomps will find strength enough to crush even rocks that are bigger than themselves.
==Evolution==
Marshtomp is the evolved form of Mudkip. Marshtomp evolves into Swampert once it reaches level 36.
