Hippowdon (Pokémon)

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.

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.

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

Multiple Hippowdon appeared in PDP16.

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.

Hippowdon is available in Sword and Shield, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

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.

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.
