Card 103

Tympole is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, hailing from the Unova region. Known as the Tadpole Pokémon, it evolves into Palpitoad at level 25, which then evolves into Seismitoad at level 42. Tympole's most distinguishing feature is the black, circular sound-generating organs on its cheeks, which it uses to create ultrasonic waves. These vibrations are not only crucial for communication within its species but also serve as a warning system against danger. Tympole typically thrives in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and rivers, where it spends its time swimming in schools. Its diet consists primarily of small aquatic organisms. In the Pokémon games, Tympole is often encountered early in the player's journey, making it a memorable first-stage Water-type for many. In the anime, Tympole have been depicted as playful and somewhat mischievous creatures, often appearing in episodes that highlight their unique sound-based abilities. Their design, resembling a tadpole with headphones, gives them a charming and distinct appearance, contributing to their appeal among fans.
