===Origin===
According to interviews with Ken Sugimori in Nintendo Dream, Seismitoad is based on a . Although the team had previously created Pokémon based on frogs with the Poliwag line, Sugimori wished to go for a more "traditional frog-like evolution" in this instance.Nintendo Dream Vol. 204, April 2011 (Shellspider's blog (Japanese), Translation by Dr. Lava) The lumps on its body may be inspired by the "warts" found on most toads (known as s), combined with . This connection between frogs and loudspeakers may stem from the croaking behavior seen with male frogs, which do so to attract mates. Inspiration may also come from the , an aquatic amphibian whose back is covered in pockets that hold its eggs.
Seismitoad being able to secrete a paralyzing liquid from its head bumps may be inspired by the , which has large bumps resembling eyes on its rear that can emit a poisonous secretion when threatened. Seismitoad's ability to use vibrations to enhance its punches and cause tremors may reference the phenomenon of and s.
