'''Hippopotas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ヒポポタス''' ''Hipopotas'' is a {{t|Ground}}-type Pokémon first seen in the [[Generation IV]] games.  
'''Hippopotas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ヒポポタス''' ''Hippopotas'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Hippowdon}} starting at [[level]] 34.
 
==Biology==
Hippopotas is a quadruped, hippo-like Pokémon that is most commonly found in deserts and other arid places. Its skin color depends on gender: if male, it is tan with dark brown patches, and if female, its coloring is reversed. It has a large snout with round, protruding nostrils. Its eyes and small ears protrude from the top of its head. Its torso has mottled coloring and a small hole on its back. Each of its feet has two blunt claws, and it has a small tail. Hippopotas spends its time bathing in sand and avoids water at all costs. It covers itself in sand as a protective measure against germs and expels sand instead of sweat. When it walks through the sand, it shuts its nostrils. It prefers to travel in groups of ten.

==Trivia==
* Despite having obvious gender differences, both Hippopotas and its {{p|Hippowdon|evolution}} have only one menu sprite and one Dream World picture, both of which depict the male variation.


==Evolution==
===Origin===
{| border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin: auto;"
Hippopotas is based on a {{wp|hippopotamus}}, with army-like desert {{wp|camouflage}}. Because of the spout upon its back that spits sand, Hippopotas and its evolved form may be based upon the legendary {{wp|Bahamut}} as, in some accounts of the myths behind it, it is said to support a bed of sand and have the head of a hippo.
