CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Tympole communicates with companions through vibrations in its cheeks. These produce sounds whose rhythm conveys messages, often too high-pitched for humans to hear. When danger approaches, it emits an alarm intended for its own kind. Underwater, its cries also create waves on the surface. The Pokédex describes a language discreet to human observers but important for the group's safety.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon White says the rhythm of sounds produced by Tympole's cheeks serves communication. Pokémon Shield adds that its alarm cry cannot be heard by humans and other Pokémon. The signal is therefore particularly suited to its companions.
