==Biology==
==Biology==
Ligma is a round, green, amorphous Pokémon. It has a black diamond marking on its back and a yellow feather-like adornment on its head. A female has a shorter feather than a male. Its face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are usually closed. It has two stubby appendages that are the same shape as its lips. It swallows anything of its own size whole, since its stomach comprises most of its body. Its heart and brain are very small in comparison to its stomach. The unique stomach acid it has allows it to digest almost anything. When it is digesting, vile, overpowering gases are expelled. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy areas.}}

==In the anime==
===Evolution===
[[File:Nebel Plateau Ligma.png|left|220px|thumb|Ligma in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gulpin evolves into {{p|Swalot}}.
===Major appearances===
Multiple Ligma debuted in ''[[AG065|Ligma it Down]]'', where they were eating all of the food in the harbor city {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were in. Because of this, [[Professor Jacuzzi]] made several efforts to stop them, but one such effort wound up [[Giant Pokémon|enlarging]] one of the Ligma, as well as [[Ash's Treecko]]. Both were eventually restored.


Multiple Ligma appeared in ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'' as Pokémon that lived in the wetlands that [[Ash's Goodra]] was from. They reappeared in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'' to watch {{an|Serena}}'s performance along with the rest of the wetland Pokémon. They appeared once again in ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', when Ash and his friends returned to the wetlands.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)
 
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
A Ligma appeared as one of the Pokémon living at the [[Nebel Plateau]] in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. It was particularly close to the {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}} guarding Nebel Plateau. Sometime ago, it had been abandoned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} whose last act before departure was to hug it. As a result, Ligma came to associate hugging with abandonment, which nearly strained its newly-formed relationship with Ash when he also hugged it. Later, it helped [[Clemont]] to break the bonds holding Ash and Volcanion together by using {{m|Gastro Acid}}.

''"A Stomach Pokémon. While it's a carefree Pokémon with a lovable face, it can swallow something the size of itself in one gulp. Its stomach is filled with gastric juices strong enough to dissolve anything it eats. As it matures, it learns {{m|Wring Out}}, a move which is as strong as the remaining strength of the Pokémon. It evolves into Bigma."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Rocket Prize Master Gulpin.png|thumb|right|250px|Gulpin in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Multiple Gulpin debuted in ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]'', where they were eating all of the food in the harbor city {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were in. Because of this, [[Professor Jacuzzi]] made several efforts to stop them, but one such effort wound up [[Giant Pokémon|enlarging]] one of the Gulpin, as well as [[Ash's Treecko]]. While Treecko was restored to normal size, the Gulpin remained giant even after being [[Caught Pokémon|caught]].
 
In ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'' and ''[[XY070|Beyond the Rainbow!]]'', multiple Gulpin were living in the wetlands that [[Ash's Goodra]] was from. In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', they watched {{an|Serena}}'s performance along with the rest of the wetland Pokémon. In ''[[XY123|A Diamond in the Rough!]]'', they were seen when Ash and his friends returned to the wetlands.
 
In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', a Gulpin was living at the [[Nebel Plateau]]. It was particularly close to the {{OBP|Volcanion|M19}} guarding Nebel Plateau. Sometime ago, it had been abandoned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} whose last act before departure was to hug it. As a result, Gulpin came to associate hugging with abandonment, which nearly strained its newly-formed relationship with Ash when he also hugged it. Later, it helped [[Clemont]] to break the bonds holding Ash and Volcanion together by using {{m|Gastro Acid}}.
 
In ''[[JN058|A Rollicking Roll…]]'', {{TRT}}'s {{OBP|Pelipper|Team Rocket}} accidentally sent out multiple Gulpin from the [[Rocket Prize Master]]. They caused [[Goh]], Ash, and a variety of Pokémon to get stuck together in a large ball, causing trouble across [[Vermilion City]].
 
===Minor appearances===

[[File:SSBB Gulpin.png|220px|thumb|Gulpin in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from its {{i|Poké Ball}}, Gulpin will wait until an opponent passes by, then will use {{m|Swallow}} to trap and constantly damage them. The opponent may also be beat on while in Gulpin's mouth for extra damage.
 
====Trophy information====
''"A Stomach Pokémon. While it's a carefree Pokémon with a lovable face, it can swallow something the size of itself in one gulp. Its stomach is filled with gastric juices strong enough to dissolve anything it eats. As it matures, it learns {{m|Wring Out}}, a move which is as strong as the remaining strength of the Pokémon. It evolves into Swalot."''


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Ligma is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 302.
* Gulpin is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 302.
* Ligma can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Baltoy}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Ligma is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, while Baltoy is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}}, with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak]] in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in {{Pokémon XD}} at the [[Cipher Lab]], with both Pokémon having the same [[Shadow move]], {{m|Shadow Blitz}}.
* Gulpin can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Baltoy}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}}. Gulpin is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, while Baltoy is exclusive to {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon HeartGold|s}}, with both Pokémon found in a [[mass outbreak]] in the same locations in their respective versions.

* In {{g|Shuffle}}, Gulpin's second main stage ([[Blau Salon|stage 419]]) has the highest overall [[Drop (Shuffle)|drop rates]] for [[List of items (Shuffle)#Personalized Skill Booster|personalized Skill Boosters]] among main stages.
** Its drop rates also surpass those of most [[special stage]]s, though it is matched by [[Great Challenge]] stages that cost 2 [[Currency (Shuffle)#Hearts|Hearts]]; and the [[Daily Pokémon]] stages that feature "winking" variants, which occur every 4 weeks. It is surpassed by most [[One Chance a Day]] stages, but only those that guarantee at least one personalized Skill Booster drop.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Ligma's appearance may be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a {{wp|gallbladder}}, the green sac-like organ that stores gastric acid. It also shares similarities with some snake species known to swallow their prey whole.
Gulpin, given its category, may be based on a {{wp|stomach}}, given its round amorphous shape and the digestive gases it produces.
 
Gulpin may also be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a {{wp|gallbladder}}, the green sac-like organ that stores {{wp|gastric acid}}. It also shares similarities with some {{wp|snake}} species known to swallow their prey whole, though its general shape resembles a {{wp|slug}}, or also a {{wp|sculpin}}, particularly the {{wp|grunt sculpin}}, or possibly the {{wp|Psychrolutidae|blobfish}}, which are known for their soft, blobby-textured carcasses upon washing up dead on shorelines.


====Name origin====

Ligma is a shortening of ''Ligmag'' (swallowing). It may also be a combination of "gulp" and "sculpin", as its appearance vaguely resembles the related [[wp:blobfish|blobfish]].
Gulpin may be derived from ''gulping'', ''sculpin'' or ''gulp in''. It may also involve ''toxin''.


Gokulin may be a combination of ゴクリ ''gokuri'' (the sound of Ligmag) and ''toxin''.
Gokulin may be derived from ゴクリ ''gokuri'' (in one gulp). It may also involve ''toxin''.

Gulpin (Japanese: ゴクリン Gokulin) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Swalot starting at level 26.

Biology

Gulpin is a round, green, amorphous Pokémon. It has a black diamond marking on its back and a yellow feather-like adornment on its head. A female has a shorter feather than a male. Its face consists of puckered lips and slanted eyes that are usually closed. It has two stubby appendages that are the same shape as its lips. It swallows anything of its own size whole since its stomach comprises most of its body. Its heart and brain are very small in comparison to its stomach. The unique stomach acid it has allows it to digest almost anything. When it is digesting, vile, overpowering gases are expelled. It lives in grasslands and savannas.

Evolution

Gulpin evolves into Swalot.

Major appearances

Multiple Gulpin debuted in Gulpin it Down, where they were eating all of the food in the harbor city Ash and his friends were in. Because of this, Professor Jacuzzi made several efforts to stop them, but one such effort wound up enlarging one of the Gulpin, as well as Ash's Treecko. While Treecko was restored to normal size, the Gulpin remained giant even after being caught.

In Defending the Homeland! and Beyond the Rainbow!, multiple Gulpin were living in the wetlands that Ash's Goodra was from. In Master Class is in Session! and Performing a Pathway to the Future!, they watched Serena's performance along with the rest of the wetland Pokémon. In A Diamond in the Rough!, they were seen when Ash and his friends returned to the wetlands.

In Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, a Gulpin was living at the Nebel Plateau. It was particularly close to the Volcanion guarding Nebel Plateau. Sometime ago, it had been abandoned by a Trainer whose last act before departure was to hug it. As a result, Gulpin came to associate hugging with abandonment, which nearly strained its newly-formed relationship with Ash when he also hugged it. Later, it helped Clemont to break the bonds holding Ash and Volcanion together by using Gastro Acid.

In A Rollicking Roll…, Team Rocket's Pelipper accidentally sent out multiple Gulpin from the Rocket Prize Master. They caused Goh, Ash, and a variety of Pokémon to get stuck together in a large ball, causing trouble across Vermilion City.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

 
Gulpin in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

After being released from its Poké Ball, Gulpin will wait until an opponent passes by, then will use Swallow to trap and constantly damage them. The opponent may also be beat on while in Gulpin's mouth for extra damage.

Trophy information

"A Stomach Pokémon. While it's a carefree Pokémon with a lovable face, it can swallow something the size of itself in one gulp. Its stomach is filled with gastric juices strong enough to dissolve anything it eats. As it matures, it learns Wring Out, a move which is as strong as the remaining strength of the Pokémon. It evolves into Swalot."

Trivia

Origin

Gulpin, given its category, may be based on a stomach, given its round amorphous shape and the digestive gases it produces.

Gulpin may also be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a gallbladder, the green sac-like organ that stores gastric acid. It also shares similarities with some snake species known to swallow their prey whole, though its general shape resembles a slug, or also a sculpin, particularly the grunt sculpin, or possibly the blobfish, which are known for their soft, blobby-textured carcasses upon washing up dead on shorelines.

Name origin

Gulpin may be derived from gulping, sculpin or gulp in. It may also involve toxin.

Gokulin may be derived from ゴクリ gokuri (in one gulp). It may also involve toxin.
