This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a fictional species: This is a redirect from a fictional species to a related fictional work or list of species. The destination may be an article about a related fictional work that mentions this fictional species, a standalone list of fictional species, or a subsection of an article or list.
- For redirects named for fictional places use {{R from fictional location}}, for those named for fictional characters, use {{R from fictional character}}, and for those named for fictional elements (objects or concepts), use {{R from fictional element}}.

From a cross-project redirect: This is a redirect from a title linked to an item on Wikidata. The Wikidata item linked to this page is Mudkip (Q1253950).

-{{nihongo|'''Mudkip'''|ミズゴロウ|Mizugorou}} is one of the {{pokenum}} [[List of fictional species|fictional species]] of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar<ref name=sev>{{cite web|url=http://sev.prnewswire.com/entertainment/20051004/LATU06404102005-1.html|title=Pokemon Franchise Approaches 150 Million Games Sold|publisher=PR Newswire|accessdate=2006-02-28}}</ref> ''[[Pokémon]]'' [[media franchise]] &ndash; a collection of [[Computer and video games|video games]], [[anime]], [[manga]], [[book]]s, [[trading card]]s and other media created by [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. Mudkip are famous for being one of the three species of Pokémon players can choose from at the beginning of their adventure in the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'']] & [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Sapphire'']] and ''[[Pokémon Emerald]]'' versions of the [[Pokémon]] series. The purpose of Mudkip 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 [[Pokémon trainer]]s.<ref name=Rsreview> [http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/389/389660p1.html ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Pokémon Sapphire'' Review (page 1)] ''Ign.com''. URL Accessed June 1, 2006.</ref>
-Mudkip's name is a [[portmanteau]] of ''mud'', being a surrounding of its natural habitat - the swamp, and ''skip'', relating to the [[Mudskipper]], the fish it resembles.<ref name=origin>{{cite web|url=http://pokedream.com/pokedex/pokedex.php?id=258|title=Pokemon Dream ::  PokeDex (258 Mudkip)|publisher=pokedream.com|accessdate=2006-05-29}}</ref>  The "-kip" part of it's name may come from the fish-species [[Kipper]], as well. The name ''Mudkip'' refers to both the overall species, and to individual Mudkip within the [[Pokémon (video games)|games]], [[Pokémon (anime)|anime]] and [[manga]] series.
-== Characteristics ==
-The fin on Mudkip's head acts as highly sensitive radar, using this fin to sense movements of water and air, Mudkip can determine what is taking place around it without using its eyes. When in water, Mudkip breathes using the gills on its cheeks. If it is faced with a tight situation in battle, Mudkip will become strong enough to crush rocks bigger than itself. 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. It is strong in spite of its size.<ref name=dex>The in-game [[Pokédex]]es from the [[Pokémon video games|''Pokémon'' video games]] ([http://psypokes.com/dex/pokedex.php?id=258&view=general A copy of them from Psypokes.com]) URL Accessed [[2006-06-16]]</ref>
-==In the video games==
-One of the consistent aspects of most [[Pokémon video games|''Pokémon'' games]]—spanning from ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red]]'' and [[Pokémon Red and Blue|''Blue'']] on the [[Game Boy line|Nintendo Game Boy]] to the un-released [[Nintendo DS]] game, ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond]]'' and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''Pearl'']]—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 [[Pokémon type#Water-type|Water-type]], a [[Pokémon type#Fire-type|Fire-type]], or a [[Pokémon type#Grass-type|Grass-type]] 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 ''[[Pokémon Yellow]]'' (a remake of the original games that follows the story of the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon anime]]''), where players are given a [[Pikachu]], an [[Pokémon type#Electric-type|Electric-type]] 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>
-[[Image:Torchic_GBA.jpg|thumb|left|250px|A battle screenshot showing a Mudkip and a [[Taillow]], against an opponent's [[Torchic]] and [[Zigzagoon]], (shown left and right respectively) in ''Pokemon Ruby''.]]
-The Mudkip is the Water-type choice in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby]]'', ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Emerald]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance|Nintendo Game Boy Advance]].<ref name=rubyreview/> Choosing one as the player's starting Pokémon is considered easier than choosing the Fire-type ([[Torchic]]), but equally as difficult as choosing the Grass-type ([[Treecko]]), primarily because of the advantage it has in defeating the first [[Pokémon Gym|Gym-leader]], [[List of Hoenn Gym Leaders#Roxanne|Roxanne]], a powerful trainer whom the player must defeat to progress in the game.<ref name=Rsreview/> Roxanne uses [[Pokémon types#Rock-type|Rock-type]] Pokémon—such as [[Geodude]]—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 types#Water-type|Water-type]] Pokémon, meaning it fires water (in bubbles or in jet spurts) to attack foe. Mudkip evolve, 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 [[Marshtomp]], its Stage-1 (middle) form at level 16, and evolves into its Stage-2 (final) form, [[Swampert]], 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|publisher=Pojo.com|accessedate=2005-04-12}}</ref> Mudkip is often chosen as a starter because its evolved forms, Marshtomp and [[Swampert]] are [[Pokémon types#Water-type|Water-type]] and [[Pokémon types#Ground-type|Ground-type]], meaning they specialize in ground-based moves as well as water-based moves. Being part ground-type gives Swampert and Marshtomp immunity to [[Pokémon types#Electric-type|electricity-based]] 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 is that its evolved forms, Marshtomp and Swampert, cannot learn Hydro Pump, which is a powerful water-based attack. On the other hand, Mudkip would learn this move at Level 42, if the player doesn't evolve it into Marshtomp.<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>
-Mudkip is also one of the main characters in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'', for the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Nintendo Game Boy Advance]]. 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 [[Pikachu]], [[Bulbasaur]] and Mudkip. If Bulbasaur or another Pokémon is selected as the player, however, Mudkip 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==
-[[Image:Brocksavesmudkip.jpg|right|thumb|Brock saving Mudkip prior to capturing it during Episode 301. "A Mudkip Mission".]]
-The [[Pokémon (anime)|''Pokémon'' anime]] [[television program|series]] and [[film]]s are a set of adventures separate from most other versions of ''Pokémon'', featuring [[Ash Ketchum]] as the main character, and various companions that accompany him through the lands of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and Hoenn. During the Hoenn adventures, [[Brock (Pokémon)|Brock]], a [[Pokémon breeding|Pokémon breeder]] and former [[Pokémon gym|Gym leader]] who travels with protagonist [[Ash Ketchum]], obtains a Mudkip in [[Dewford Town]] during Episode 301. "A Mudkip Mission". As Ash and his companions climb a waterfall, they come across a group of young Mudkip, Brock rescues a young Mudkip from being washed away in a stream. Brock's [[Lotad]] and Mudkip work together to defeat [[Team Rocket (anime)|Team Rocket]], at which point the Mudkip 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 Mission|accessdate=2006-06-04}}</ref>
-Mudkip's primary role is to assist Brock during water related situations, such as searching for objects in the ocean, such as an [[Illumise]] and a pearl belonging to a [[Spoink]].<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 also guides the Pokémon when Brock, Ash and [[May (Pokémon)|May]] aren't around. It evolves into [[Marshtomp]] during Episode 425. "Mudkip & Flaafy! Wonder Drug of Love!"<ref name=evolve>{{cite web|url=http://www.serebii.net/anime/epiguide/kanto/425.shtml|title=Synopsis of Pokémon Anime; Episode 425 - Mudkip & Flaaffy! Wonder Drug of Love!|publisher=Serebii.net|accessdate=2006-05-29}}</ref>
-A seperate Mudkip 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, 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 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.

-[[Image:Mudkipstar.jpg|left|thumb|150px|Mudkip (as "Mudkip Star") in the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' (EX Team Rocket Returns set).]]
-[[Ruby (Pokémon)|Ruby]], the male protagonist in ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' during the arc based off of Pokémon Ruby amd Sapphire, obtains a Mudkip named ''Zuzu'' as his starter from [[Professor Birch]].  Ruby is a [[Pokémon coordinator]], a person who uses thier pokémon for [[Pokémon Contest|contests]] rather than battles, and uses Zuzu in those contests.  Zuzu evolved into [[Marshtomp]] unexpectedly while Ruby was in [[Slateport City]] and again into [[Swampert]] while training near [[Fortree City]]. Zuzu was first used to battle in "Chapter 183 VS. Torchic", against [[Sapphire (Pokémon)|Sapphire]], 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>
-The ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'' is a [[Collectible card game|collectable card game]] first published by [[Wizards of the Coast]] in [[North America]], 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 is a Water-type Basic pokémon, just like it's 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 [[Marshtomp]] card in their hand, they can play it on top of the Mudkip card, which is the card game's equivilant of evolving.
-Mudkip has appeared several times in the ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]''.  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 Star".<ref name=deckdex> {{cite web|url=http://www.psypokes.com/dex/deckdex.php?id=258|title=List of Mudkip's Pokémon Trading Card Game appearances|publisher=Psypokes.com|accessdate=2006-06-18}}</ref>  This card is different then the other Mudkip 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+Star/card/20521/EX%20Team%20Rocket%20Returns%20Mudkip+%22star%22.html|title=Trading Card information of Mudkip Star|publisher=Shuffleandcut.com|accessdate=2006-06-18}}</ref>
-One rule when playing with the ''Star'' cards—including ''Mudkip 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 [[suffix]]es is followed, ''Mudkip 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>  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/>
