Pokédex entry
On occasion, their cries are sublimely pleasing to the ear. Palpitoad with larger lumps on their bodies can sing with a wider range of sounds.
きれいな 声で 鳴くこともある。 体の 突起が 大きいほど 広い 音域で 鳴けるのだ。

Trivia

Even though Palpitoad and its evolved form are normally immune to Electric-type moves (the type to which the Lightning-type corresponds to) in the games, this card has a weakness to Lightning-type attacks. It might be because Tympole has a Lightning-type weakness, and Tympole is normally weak to Electric-type moves.

Origin

Rain Splash's Japanese name is that of Soak, a Field Move in the Pokémon Ranger series. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Shield.
