===History===

Brock obtained Marshtomp as a Mudkip in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. Mudkip was a [[wild Pokémon]], though it frequented [[Old Man Swamp]]'s property on [[Dewford Town|Dewford Island]], where he raised Mudkip for the [[Pokémon League]]. It tended to act as a guardian to the young Mudkip and was noticeably larger. Old Man Swamp feared that Mudkip would eventually become lonely once all of the hatchlings were sent out to the new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Brock eventually befriended it after a few failed attempts. Later, Mudkip, Brock, and Brock's other Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} and {{TP|Brock|Lotad}}, had to rescue a baby Mudkip from falling over a waterfall. They managed to save it, but right after the ordeal they were attacked by {{TRT}}. Mudkip and Brock's Lotad used {{m|Water Gun}} on the ground around the [[team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] to make it sink into the ground, and [[Ash's Pikachu]] finished the job with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Old Man Swamp later suggested that Mudkip go with Brock, to which it happily agreed.

During the group's {{pkmn|journey}} through [[Hoenn]], Mudkip was usually seen alongside Brock's {{p|Lombre}}. The two were often called out to use a dual-Water Gun attack.

In ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt!]]'', Mudkip battled [[Winstrate family|Victor]]'s {{p|Zigzagoon}}. Mudkip opened by using Water Gun, which Zigzagoon dodged. Zigzagoon then shockingly responded with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, ending the battle with just the one [[move]].

In ''[[AG092|Judgment Day!]]'', Mudkip was used in a mock battle alongside Lombre against [[Ash's Swellow]] and Corphish to help {{OBP|Jimmy|AG092}} train as a [[Battle judge|referee]]. Lombre was quickly pushed into a tough position and Brock had it play dead to give Jimmy an easy judgment. As Jimmy wondered what to do, Ash commanded Swellow to attack Lombre, who retaliated with {{m|Razor Leaf}}. The attack failed to knock out Swellow and it and Mudkip attacked with dual Water Guns, which Corphish blocked. Jimmy declared Corphish unable to battle, though it sprung back up immediately after. His teacher scolded him for the rash judgement and the battle was put to an end.

Brock decided to bring Mudkip with him across the [[Kanto]] [[region]] during Ash's {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} challenge.

In ''[[AG148|A Chip Off the Old Brock]]'', Mudkip [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Marshtomp when it was having a practice battle against Ash's Grovyle. It automatically learned {{m|Mud Shot}} upon evolution due to it becoming part {{t|Ground}} [[type]]. In the same episode, it became smitten with a {{p|Flaaffy}}, much like the way Brock was smitten by [[Mariah (AG148)|its Trainer]].

Brock left Marshtomp at the [[Pewter Gym]] when he decided to join {{Ash}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

===Personality and characteristics===

When Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp, it retained the same personality but also developed somewhat of a flirtatious side, like its Trainer, as seen in ''[[AG148|A Chip Off the Old Brock]]'' when it fell madly in love with {{OBP|Mariah|AG148}}'s {{p|Flaaffy}}.
