Physiology and design

Multitoed resembles a stocky, amphibian frog with a broad body and a rounded head. Its most notable characteristic is the high number of toes on its feet, which are often described as suction-cup-bearing and well adapted for gripping wet surfaces. Its coloration is typically described as greenish with lighter underparts, though exact hues can vary in different artwork and regional designs.

Habitat and behavior

In the Pokémon world, Multitoed is associated with aquatic and wetland environments. Its many toes are thought to aid in balance and traction on slick or submerged terrains, and it is commonly depicted swimming or wading in shallow waters. It is generally portrayed as a social creature that can thrive in groups near bodies of water.

In battles and media

Multitoed participates in battles as a Water-type Pokémon, with a movepool that emphasizes water moves and complementary support options. In the broader Pokémon media, it has appeared in the main-series games as well as occasional appearances in anime and other media, often highlighted for its distinctive multi-toed limbs and aquatic adaptations.

Etymology and classification

The name Multitoed combines multi- (many) with toed, referring to its numerous toes. It is part of the Politoed family, sharing lineage with water-borne amphibian designs within its generation’s ecosystem.
