In the MangaEdit

Pokemon AdventuresEdit

N is shown to be owning a Tympole as he used it against a match against Black, though after his Tympole lost he didn't return it to its Poké Ball because he thinks that Pokémon are his friends and he shouldn't trap it in a Poké Ball.

EvolutionEdit

Tympole evolves into Palpitoad at level 25, and then into Seismitoad at level 36.
