BIOLOGY


A female Hippowdon in New Pokémon Snap

Hippowdon is a large, hippo-like Pokémon with skin color based on its gender. It
is light brown if male, and bluish-gray if female. It has a dark gray back and
muzzle with several holes in them. Sand often spills out of the ports on its
back and its nostrils. This sand is stored internally and is used to create
twisters when attacking. It has a large, rounded snout, a mouth filled with
peg-like teeth, and red eyes. Hippowdon has black feet with four blunt claws
each.

It is short-tempered and may hold its mouth agape as a display of strength.
Hippowdon's massive jaws are capable of crushing cars. It has a symbiotic
relationship with Dwebble, which clears any stones stuck in its ports. Drapion
are known to stay away from Hippowdon. Excess sand is expelled out of
Hippowdon's ports to create room for fresh sand to ingest, in order for it to
stay healthy.


IN THE ANIME


Male Hippowdon in the anime


MAJOR APPEARANCES

A male Hippowdon debuted in Sleight of Sand!. He was the father of the
Hippopotas that Ash and his friends rescued in Mass Hip-Po-Sis!, and
re-encountered in the same episode. Dr. Namba charged Cassidy and Butch with the
job of obtaining a sample of the sand that Hippowdon shoots out.

In An Elite Coverup!, Bertha used a male Hippowdon in a battle against Ash,
where he was able to defeat Torterra. Hippowdon briefly appeared alongside
Bertha during the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.


MINOR APPEARANCES

Multiple Hippowdon appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

In One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!, Jessie used a Hippowdon lent by the
Pokémon Summer Academy for the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

In Working on a Right Move!, a Trainer's Hippowdon competed in the Lily of the
Valley Conference. It was defeated by another Trainer's Tangrowth.

Multiple Hippowdon appeared in Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.

In Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, a Hippowdon was living at the Nebel
Plateau.


POKÉDEX ENTRIES

Heavyweight Pokémon. It creates an enormous tornado of sand by blowing sand out
of the holes in its body, and its mouth is over 6 feet in diameter. DP170
Hippowdon Ash's Pokédex Hippowdon, the Heavyweight Pokémon. A surprisingly

IN THE MANGA


Female Hippowdon in Pokémon Adventures


PHANTOM THIEF POKÉMON 7

A Hippowdon appeared in P7-14, under the ownership of a man.


POCKET MONSTERS DIAMOND & PEARL

Multiple Hippowdon appeared in PDP16.


POKÉMON ADVENTURES

A wild male Hippowdon first appeared in Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas,
where Dr. Footstep set up a sticky carpet to collect his footprint, "finally"
succeeding in extracting one from a Hippowdon. This, however, earned the ire of
the Pokémon, which proceeded to send him and the three Sinnoh Trainers flying
with his Sand Tomb. As a result, Diamond and Platinum landed in the outskirts of
Lake Verity, away from Pearl and Footstep, and promptly had to face two Super
Nerds hired by Team Galactic to drive out intruders.

Bertha has a female Hippowdon that debuted in Tackling Togekiss. It was used as
transportation for Bertha, as well as to carry some books for her Trainer.

TRIVIA

 * In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, both
   Hippowdon and Hippopotas have the same recruit rate, something rarely found
   with Pokémon of the same evolutionary line.
 * Despite having obvious gender differences, both Hippowdon and its
   pre-evolution have only one menu sprite, both of which depict the male
   variation.


ORIGIN

Hippowdon is based on a hippopotamus. Because of the spouts upon its back that
constantly spit sands, Hippowdon and its pre-evolved form may be based upon the
legendary Bahamut as, in some accounts of the myths behind it, it is said to
support a bed of sand and have the head of a hippo.

NAME ORIGIN

Hippowdon is a combination of hippopotamus, power, powder (as in sand), or pow
(onomatopoeia for a bodily hit), and don (Spanish for lord; Ancient Greek for
tooth).

Kabaldon is a combination of 河馬 kaba (hippopotamus) and don.
