The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Shield

    On occasion, their cries are sublimely pleasing to the ear. Palpitoad with larger lumps on their bodies can sing with a wider range of sounds.

  • Sword

    It weakens its prey with sound waves intense enough to cause headaches, then entangles them with its sticky tongue.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    It lives in the water and on land. It uses its long, sticky tongue to immobilize its opponents.

  • Omega Ruby

    When they vibrate the bumps on their heads, they can make waves in water or earthquake-like vibrations on land.

1 more entries from older games
  • White

    It lives in the water and on land. It uses its long, sticky tongue to capture prey.
