Stats & Training
Seismitoad's spread is anchored by HP, with balanced defenses backing it up. Speed is the clear weak point. Worth 3 HP EVs per KO, and the 1.06M XP medium-slow curve keeps leveling painless.
The vibrating of the bumps all over its body causes earthquake-like tremors. Seismitoad and Croagunk are similar species.
This Pokémon is popular among the elderly, who say the vibrations of its lumps are great for massages.
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. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 105 HP and balanced defenses, Seismitoad can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

How to Obtain Seismitoad in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Seismitoad Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Seismitoad's 509 base stat total fool you. Swift Swim is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it C-Tier. Stealth Rock with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Swift Swim on Seismitoad. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Seismitoad also gets Poison Touch and Water Absorb, but they don't compare.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Seismitoad fills the balanced role. It's a mixed attacker with base 95 Attack and 85 Sp. Atk. Base 74 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Stealth Rock, Scald, Earthquake, and Toxic on Seismitoad. Stealth Rock is the most common pick at 24% usage. Scald provides reliable STAB damage.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Seismitoad has appeared in 8 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
