'''Tympole''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オタマロ''' ''Otamaro'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
'''Tympole''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オタマロ''' ''Otamaro'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Biology==
==Biology==
Tympole is a round, tadpole-like Pokémon with a tan, circular face. It has large, oval, black eyes, a wide mouth with down-turned corners, and black eyebrows in the shape of quarter notes. Its spherical body is black with no visible limbs. Instead, it has two black-and-blue ringed half-spheres on either side of its head. These spheres are vibrated to create a sound too high-pitched for humans to hear. The sounds are used in rhythm to communicate with others of its kind, particularly for warning of danger. It has a long, blue tail with a fan-like shape and a black spot at its base. The [[BW032|anime]] demonstrates that Tympole swims and attacks in groups.
Tympole is a round, tadpole-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a tan, circular face. It has large, oval, black eyes; a wide mouth with down-turned corners; and black eyebrows in the shape of quarter notes. Its spherical body is black with no visible limbs. Instead, it has two black-and-blue ringed cheeks akin to half-spheres on either side of its head. It has a long, blue tail with a fan-like shape and a black spot at its base.


==In the anime==
Tympole vibrates its cheeks to create a sound too high-pitched for humans and other species of Pokémon to hear. The sounds are used in rhythm to communicate with others of its kind, particularly for warning of danger. They are known to sing in high-pitched voices, which creates graceful ripples on the water's surface. The [[BW032|anime]] reveals that Tympole swim and attack in groups.

===Major appearances===
Tympole made its debut in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', when a group of them attacked {{AP|Oshawott}} under water, under the command of a wild {{AP|Palpitoad}}. They were trying to prevent it from getting the medicine to cure the team from the poisoning several {{p|Foongus}} inflicted, but fled when Oshawott opened its eyes while using {{m|Razor Shell}}.


===Minor appearances===
===Evolution===
A Tympole made a very minor cameo near the end of ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]''.
Tympole evolves into {{p|Palpitoad}}, which evolves into {{p|Seismitoad}}.


Multiple Tympole appeared in ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]''.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

===Origin===
===Origin===
Tympole appears to be a combination of a toad tadpole and a loudspeaker. Tympole's spherical "speakers" were probably inspired by toads' "warts" and poison glands, as well as the {{wp|Surinam toad}}, an aquatic amphibian whose backs are covered in pockets that hold its eggs, or more likely, the {{wp|tympanum (anatomy)|tympanum}} of a real-life toad, located in the same area. It is an eardrum-like body part the toad uses to hear. Its Pokédex entry also mentions the fact that it creates vibrations underwater, also like the Surinam. Its eyebrows resemble {{wp|musical note}}s, specifically the quarter note, and the bumps on the side of its head are similar to {{wp|headphones}}.
Tympole appears to be a combination of a {{wp|toad}} {{wp|tadpole}} and a {{wp|loudspeaker}}. Its spherical bumps resemble {{wp|headphones}}, and were probably inspired by either the toads' "warts" (known as {{wp|parotoid gland}}s), or the {{wp|tympanum (anatomy)|tympanum}} of a real-life toad, an eardrum-like body part located in the same area which the toad uses to hear. Its eyebrows resemble {{wp|musical note}}s, specifically the {{wp|quarter note}}.
 
Tympole and Palpitoad's designs were worked backwards from Seismitoad's design.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
