Trivia
Origin
Palpitoad appears to be a combination of a toad tadpole and a loudspeaker. Its spherical "speakers" were probably inspired by toads' "warts" and poison glands, or the Surinam toad, an aquatic amphibian whose backs are covered in pockets that hold its eggs. Its Pokédex entry also mentions the fact that it creates vibrations underwater, also like the Surinam.
Name origin
Palpitoad is a combination of palpitation (pulsation) and toad.
Gamagaru may be a corruption of 蝦蟇 gamagaeru (Japanese Common Toad).
