Tympole (Japanese: オタマロ Otamaro) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is the second Pokémon to be based off a tadpole after Poliwag, but the fourth Pokémon to have the species itself, after Poliwrath. It also seems to have sonic-absorbers on its "ears". Tympoles can be found at Pinwheel Forest.

Pokemon Adventures

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.

Evolution

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