===Physiology===
Palpitoad is an amphibious, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with an ovoid body. It is mostly blue, with a tan oval marking lined with black stretching from the bottom of its belly to its forehead. Its black eyes are round. Its upper lip is round as well and curves down sharply at the corners. Inside its mouth is a long, sticky tongue used to immobilize and capture prey. Its feet are small with three toes each, and its tail is oval and white. Three large half-spheres encircle its head, each one light blue with a black base. There are four round, light blue bumps starting on either side of its lower body and stretching across its back. The bumps on its head can be vibrated to create waves and earthquakes, as well as intense sounds to weaken its prey. The larger a Palpitoad's lumps are, the wider the range of sounds it can make.
Palpitoad is a dual-type, Water- and Ground-type Pokémon with primarily blue coloration. There are various bumps, ringed with black and possessing blue centers, on its head and approximately where its forelimbs would be. Palpitoad have cream undersides that are rimmed in black coloration, and their tapered tails are small and white.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Palpitoad shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Vibrava}} and {{p|Seismitoad}}. They are all known as Vibration Pokémon.
* Palpitoad and its evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Vibrava}}. They are all known as the Vibration Pokémon.


===Origin===
===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 {{wp|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.
Palpitoad appears to be based on a {{wp|toad}} {{wp|tadpole}}. Its lumps may be inspired by toads' "warts" (known as {{wp|parotoid gland}}s), combined with {{wp|loudspeaker}} {{wp|electrodynamic speaker driver|drivers}}. This connection may stem from the croaking behavior seen with male frogs, which do so to attract mates. It may also be inspired by the {{wp|common Surinam toad}}, an aquatic amphibian whose back is covered in pockets that hold its eggs. Its [[Pokédex]] entry mentions the fact that it creates vibrations underwater, much like how the common Surinam toad is able to sense vibrations underwater.
 
Palpitoad and Tympole'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>
