Seismitoad in Pokemon Winds & Waves

Evolution relative Tympole spottedReviewed Oct 13, 2026

Seismitoad is on our Winds and Waves list because its evolution relative Tympole was spotted in the announcement trailer. Seismitoad itself was not spotted in the official material we reviewed (as of Oct 13, 2026).

We reviewed the announcement trailer gameplay (1:28 to 3:00) and 19 official site screenshots. Official media released later may show more.

Seismitoad Weakness

Grass moves hit Seismitoad for super-effective damage. Grass hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Electric-type moves can't touch it at all. It resists 4 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. In previous games, Water Absorb granted an additional Water immunity.
