<h1>SO I HERD U LIEK MUDKIPS</h1>

Mudkip (I heard you like them) are famous for being one of the three species of Pokémon players can choose from at the beginning of their adventure in the ] & ] and '']'' versions of the ] series. The purpose of Mudkip (I heard you like them) in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by ]s.<ref name=Rsreview> {{cite web|url=http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/389/389660p1.html|title=Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire Review (page 1)|publisher=Ign.com''|accessedate=2006-06-01}}</ref>

Mudkip (I heard you like them)'s name is a ] of ''mud'', being a surrounding of its natural habitat, and ''Kip'', which refers to ''Skip'', relating to the ], the fish it resembles.<ref name=origin>{{cite web|url=http://pokedream.com/pokedex/pokedex.php?id=258|title=Pokemon Dream :: PokeDex (258 Mudkip (I heard you like them))|publisher=pokedream.com|accessdate=2006-05-29}}</ref> The name ''Mudkip (I heard you like them)'' refers to both the overall species, and to individual Mudkip (I heard you like them) within the ], ] and ] series.

The fin on Mudkip (I heard you like them)'s head acts as highly sensitive radar. Using this fin to sense movements of water and air, Mudkip (I heard you like them) can determine what is taking place around it without using its eyes. When in water, Mudkip (I heard you like them) breathes using the gills on its cheeks. On land, it can powerfully lift large boulders by planting its four feet and heaving. It sleeps by burying itself in soil at the water's edge. Its large tail fin propels it through water with powerful acceleration. If it is faced with a tight situation in battle, Mudkip (I heard you like them) will become strong enough to crush rocks bigger than itself.<ref name=dex>The in-game ]es from the ] () URL Accessed ]</ref>

==In the video games==
One of the consistent aspects of most ] — spanning from '']'' and ] on the ] to the soon to-be released ] games, '']'' and ] — is the choice of three different Pokémon at the start of the player's adventures; these three are often labelled ''Starter Pokémon''. Players can choose a ], a ], or a ] Pokémon indigenous to that particular region<ref name=rubyreview> {{cite web|url=http://gba.gamespy.com/gameboy-advance/pokemon-ruby-version/498107p1.html|title=Pokémon Ruby'' review (page 1)|publisher=Gamespy.com|accessdate=2006-05-30}}</ref>; an exception to this rule is '']'' (a remake of the original games that follows the story of the '']''), where players are given a ], an ] mouse famous for being the mascot of the Pokémon media franchise.<ref name=yellowreview>{{cite web|url=http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/162/162045p1.html|title=Pokémon Yellow Critical Review|publisher=gba.ign.com|accessdate=2006-03-27|author=Craig Harris}}</ref>

Mudkip (I heard you like them) is the Water-type choice in ]'', '']'' and '']'' for the ].<ref name=rubyreview/> Choosing one as the player's starting Pokémon is considered easier than choosing the Fire-type (]), but equally as difficult as choosing the Grass-type (]), primarily because of the advantage it has in defeating the first ], ], a powerful trainer whom the player must defeat to progress in the game.<ref name=Rsreview/> Roxanne uses ] Pokémon — such as ] — that have a natural weakness to Grass and Water attacks.<ref name=gamefaqs>{{cite web|url=http://db.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/file/pokemon_rs_b.txt|title=Pokémon Ruby and ''Sapphire'' Starter Pokémon Evaluation|publisher=Db.gamefaqs.com|accessedate=2006-04-12}} (See "Starting Pokémon")</ref><ref name=psypokeswalkthrough> {{cite web|url=http://www.psypokes.com/rs/walkthrough.php?part=1|title=Pokémon Ruby walkthrough|publisher=Psypokes.com|accessedate=2006-05-26}}</ref>

It is a ] Pokémon, meaning it specialzes in firing water (in bubbles or in jet spurts) to attack foe. Mudkip (I heard you like them) evolves, a metamorphic change within a Pokémon caused by gaining experience in battle,<ref name=dum> {{cite web|url=http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/dummies.html|title=Pokemon For Dummies|publisher=Pokemonelite2000.com|accessedate=2006-05-25}}</ref> into ], its Stage-1 (middle) form at level 16, and evolves into its Stage-2 (final) form, ], at Level 36.<ref name=pojo>{{cite web|url=http://www.pojo.com/pokedex/Ruby-Sapphire/007.htm|title=Pojo Advance Pokédex Entry for Mudkip (I heard you like them)|publisher=Pojo.com|accessedate=2005-04-12}}</ref> Mudkip (I heard you like them) is often chosen as a starter because its evolved forms, Marshtomp and ] are ] and ], meaning they specialize in ground-based moves as well as water-based moves. Being part ground-type gives Swampert and Marshtomp immunity to ] moves, which water types would normally take a lot of damage from. Also, Swampert is considered an "overused Pokémon", meaning that it is used very often in battles.<ref name=Tiers>{{cite web|url=http://www.smogon.com/advance/tiers|title=ADV tier list|publisher=Smogon.com|accessdate=2006-05-26}}</ref>

One interesting thing about Mudkip (I heard you like them) is that its evolved forms, Marshtomp and Swampert, cannot learn Hydro Pump, which is a powerful water-based attack. On the other hand, Mudkip (I heard you like them) would learn this move at Level 42.<ref name=hydropump>{{Cite web|url=http://www.smogon.com/advance/hydro%20pump|title=Hydro Pump attack data|publisher=Smogon.com|accessdate=2006-06-10}}</ref> Both the other starters in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald (Torchic and Treecko) also learn moves that their evolved forms don't by level. The difference is that the moves that they learn are in ], while Hydro Pump isn't.

Mudkip (I heard you like them) is also one of the main characters in '']'', for the ] and ]. At the beginning of the game, the player takes a personality quiz. Depending on the answers to the questions, the player could begin the game as one of many characters, including ], ] and Mudkip (I heard you like them). If Bulbasaur or another Pokémon is selected as the player, however, Mudkip (I heard you like them) can become one of the player's "partners" at the beginning of the game.<ref name=mysterydungeon> {{cite web|url=http://serebii.net/mysteriousdungeon/partners.shtml|title=List of Starter Pokémon in Pokémon Mysterious Dungeon|publisher=Serebii.net|accessdate=2006-06-18}}</ref>

==In the Pokémon anime==
]

The ] ] and ]s are a set of adventures separate from most other versions of ''Pokémon'', featuring ] as the main character, and various companions that accompany him through the lands of ], ] and Hoenn. During the Hoenn adventures, ], a ] and former ] who travels with protagonist Ash Ketchum, obtains a Mudkip (I heard you like them) in ] during Episode 301. "A Mudkip (I heard you like them) Mission". As Ash and his companions climb a waterfall, they come across a group of young Mudkip (I heard you like them), Brock rescues a young Mudkip (I heard you like them) from being washed away in a stream. Brock's ] and Mudkip (I heard you like them) work together to defeat ], at which point the Mudkip (I heard you like them) decides to join Brock's team.<ref name=anime>{{cite web|url=http://www.serebii.net/anime/epiguide/houen/301.shtml|publisher=Serebii.net|title=Synopsis of Pokémon Anime; Episode 301 - A Mudkip (I heard you like them) Mission|accessdate=2006-06-04}}</ref>

Mudkip (I heard you like them)'s primary role is to assist Brock during water related situations, such as searching for objects in the ocean, such as an ] and a pearl belonging to a ].<ref name=illumise>{{cite web|url=http://www.serebii.net/anime/epiguide/houen/318.shtml|title=Synopsis of Pokémon Anime; Episode 318 - Love At First Flight|publisher=Serebii.net|accessdate=2006-06-09}}</ref><ref name=pearls> {{cite web|url=http://www.serebii.net/anime/epiguide/houen/355.shtml|title=Synopsis of Pokémon Anime Episode 355 - Pearls Are a Spoink's Best Friend|publisher=Serebii.net|accessdate=2006-06-09}}</ref> Mudkip (I heard you like them) also guides the Pokémon when Brock, Ash and ] aren't around. It evolves into ] during Episode 425, entitled "Chip Off The Old Brock!".<ref name=evolve>{{cite web|url=http://www.serebii.net/anime/epiguide/kanto/425.shtml|title=Synopsis of Pokémon Anime; Episode 425 - Chip Off The Old Brock!|publisher=Serebii.net|accessdate=2006-05-29}}</ref>

A separate Mudkip (I heard you like them) also appears in Episode 281 "In the Knicker of Time!", when the group meet a trainer called Nicolai, a young trainer, who is training his first Pokémon, Mudkip (I heard you like them), which later defeats May's Torchic in a battle. Nicolai connects with his Pokémon in battle by dressing up in a suit resembling his Pokémon, wearing both Mudkip (I heard you like them) and Zigzagoon outfits in the episode.<ref name=othermudkip>{{cite web|url=http://serebii.net/anime/epiguide/houen/281.shtml|title=Synopsis of Pokémon anime; Episode 281. In the Knicker of Time!|publisher=Serebii.net|accessdate=2006-06-18}}</ref>

==In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga ==
{{section-expand}}
], the male protagonist in '']'' during the arc based off of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, obtains a Mudkip (I heard you like them) named Zuzu as his Starter Pokémon from ]. Ruby is a ], a person who uses their Pokémon for ] rather than battles, and uses Zuzu in those contests. Zuzu evolved into a ] unexpectedly while Ruby was in ], and again into a ], while training near ]. Zuzu was first used to battle in "Chapter 183 VS. Torchic", against ], his rival in the manga.<ref name=mangamudkip> {{cite web|url=http://www.serebii.net/manga/rs/183.shtml|title=Synopsis of Pokémon Adventures Manga; '' Chapter 183. VS. Torchic''|publisher=Serebii.net|accessdate=2006-05-29}}</ref>

==In the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' ==
]
The '']'' is a ] first published by ] in ], in 1999. The concept is similar to that of a Pokémon battle in the video games in that each player takes turns to hit the opponent’s Pokémon. In the card game, Mudkip (I heard you like them) is a Water-type Basic pokémon, just like its video game counterparts. As a basic pokémon, it can be played in a battle, as the competitions of the card game are called, without the use of a special card. If the player has a ] card in their hand, they can play it on top of the Mudkip (I heard you like them) card, which is the card game's equivalent of evolving.

Mudkip (I heard you like them) has appeared several times in the '']''. It has appeared in the sets ''EX Ruby & Sapphire'' (two different cards), ''EX Dragon'', and ''EX Emerald''. It also appears in ''EX Team Rocket Returns'', but as "Mudkip (I heard you like them) Star".<ref name=deckdex> {{cite web|url=http://www.psypokes.com/dex/deckdex.php?id=258|title=List of Mudkip (I heard you like them)'s Pokémon Trading Card Game appearances|publisher=Psypokes.com|accessdate=2006-06-18}}</ref> This card is different then the other Mudkip (I heard you like them) cards in that it is rarer than the rest of the cards in the set.<ref name=star>{{cite web|url=http://www.shuffleandcut.com/content/page/game/game/9/edition/dig:Mudkip (I heard you like them)+Star/card/20521/EX%20Team%20Rocket%20Returns%20Mudkip (I heard you like them)+%22star%22.html|title=Trading Card information of Mudkip (I heard you like them) Star|publisher=Shuffleandcut.com|accessdate=2006-06-18}}</ref>

One rule when playing with ''Star'' cards — including ''Mudkip (I heard you like them) Star'' from the ''EX Team Rocket Returns'' set — is that Pokémon with significant terms in their titles (often used to denote Pokémon that are all part of one set) can only evolve into Pokémon that also share this term. Though there is no mention on how to evolve ''Star Pokémon'', if the rule for other ]es is followed, ''Mudkip (I heard you like them) Star'' could only be replaced by a Marshtomp card with ''Star'' in its title — a card which, at this point, does not exist.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pokemon-tcg.com/p_strategy/rulebooks/book_77.jsp#1069|title=Pokémon Trading Card Game Rulebook on Illegal Evolutions|publisher=Pokémon-tcg.com|accessdate=2006-04-13}}</ref> However, since players can only have one "Pokémon ''Star''" card in their deck, then they couldn't evolve ''Mudkip (I heard you like them) Star'' into ''Marshtomp Star''. This makes ''Star'' cards somewhat impractical, since they cannot be upgraded from their Basic stage state; they are primarily savoured for their rarity instead.<ref name=star/>
