Itevolves intoFrogadier starting atlevel 16, which evolves intoGreninja starting atlevel 36.

Along withChespin andFennekin, Froakie is one of the threefirst partner Pokémon of Kalos available at the beginning ofPokémon X and Y.

Along with Chespin, Fennekin,Xerneas, andYveltal, it was the firstGeneration VI Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013, as part of thePokémon Direct broadcast.

Froakie is a quadrupedal,frog-likePokémon. It has light-blue skin, white hands, and a dark blue stripe from the center of its oval head to its nose. It has three fingers and two toes on its hands and feet. Its eyes, which have yellow sclerae, black irises, and white pupils, protrude vertically from its head due to their size. Froakie produces a large mane of bubbles from its chest and back and has two small bubbles on its nose.

The delicate yet flexible bubbles, calledFrubbles (Japanese:ケロムースKeromousse), reduce the damage Froakie takes from attacks. Despite its carefree attitude, it is vigilant of its surroundings. Froakie uses a happy-go-lucky look as an act to trick its enemies. It will suddenly drop the facade without warning and overwhelm its foes with its blinding speed. Froakie is both light and strong, making it capable of jumping incredibly high.^[1] Upon jumping high, it will throw springy bubbles at the heads of foes. It has been recently seen living in theTerarium ofBlueberry Academy.

• Froakie and itsEvolutions are the only Water-type first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to be in theWater 1 Egg Group and only the Water 1 Egg Group.
• Froakie was created byYusuke Ohmura.^[2]

Origin

Froakie is based on a frog.^[3] Its bubbling white foam is a reference to frog foam nests, created by some species such as theTungara frog andgrey foam-nest tree frog to protect eggs.

Froakie's foam resembles a "backpack" of sorts, and has also been used in theanimated series as a makeshift hood, which may be a reference todorobō (burglars or thieves). In Japanese folklore and culture,dorobō usefuroshiki cloth bags to hold stolen goods and mask their identity, referenced in Froakie's usage of its foam. Considering its Evolutions, its characteristics, as well as its association with thievery, Froakie may also be based on aninja.

Name origin

Froakie may be a combination offrog,froth,croak, androokie.

Keromatsu is a combination of ケロケロkerokero (onomatopoeia for a frog's croaking) and 沫matsu (bubble or foam) or 飛沫himatsu (spray or splash).
