It evolves from Palpitoad starting at level 36. It is the final form of Tympole.

Biology

Seismitoad is a bulky, aquamarine-blue, bipedal toad-like Pokémon. Its underside and the speaker-like bumps found on various parts of its body are cyan with black edges around the belly. Its hands and feet have three bulbous digits. Additionally, Seismitoad has red eyes, cyan adornments on its legs, and a long tongue.

The various lumps on its body have varying capabilities. The ones on its head can shoot a paralyzing liquid, while the ones on its hands can be vibrated to increase its punching power. It can also vibrate the lumps as a source of torment for its opponents, or use them to create earthquake-like tremors. Seismitoad is popular among the elderly due to the lumps' vibration being used as a massage. Seismitoad is related to Croagunk and Toxicroak.

Trivia

Seismitoad and its pre-evolved form share their category with Vibrava. They are all known as the Vibration Pokémon.
Seismitoad is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 509.
- It is also the only non-Poison-type Pokémon who can legitimately have the Ability Poison Touch.

Origin

Seismitoad appears to be a combination of a toad and a loudspeaker. The spherical "speakers" on its body might be inspired by the "warts" and paratoid glands found on most toads. Alternatively, inspiration may come from the common Surinam toad, an aquatic amphibian whose backs are covered in pockets that hold its eggs. It may also be based on a goliath frog because of its massive size. Its Pokédex entry mentions the fact that it creates vibrations underwater, which is also similar to the common Surinam. The two bumps on its head may be based on the bells of a traditional alarm clock.

Seismitoad's punching ability can be explained in the same way as a person being able to break glass with their voice. Seismitoad's hands will vibrate with the resonant frequency of the object about to be hit, causing extra damage when hit. This can cause devastating effects on objects; for buildings, it can cause them to sway or collapse entirely, also known as a resonance disaster; for living creatures, it could cause internal organ damage to the extent of possibly rupturing them.

Name origin

Seismitoad may be a combination of seismic and toad.

Gamageroge may be a combination of 蟇 gama (toad) and ゲロゲロ gerogero (onomatopoeia for frog croaking).

In other languages

Language	Title	Meaning
Japanese	ガマゲロゲ Gamageroge	From 蟇 gama and ゲロゲロ gerogero
French	Crapustule	From crapaud and pustule
Spanish	Seismitoad	Same as English name
German	Branawarz	From Membran, Rana, and Warze
Italian	Seismitoad	Same as English name
Korean	두빅굴 Dubiggul	Likely from 두꺼비 dukkeobi, big, and 개굴개굴 gaegulgaegul
Cantonese Chinese
Mandarin Chinese	蟾蜍王 Chánchúwáng	Literally "Toad king".
