it learns EQ as a swampert, too, just 6 levels later. when playing through the game, it's better to let it evolve at 36 and get EQ later, because of the massive power boost it gets from evolving. the only reason to keep it as a marshtomp until 46 is if you want to use it in a level-50 competition, and don't want to use the TM.starterlover1 said:The stats will not be affected, as said above. Raise mudkip to 42 and let it evolve. Keep marshtomp to lv 46 so it learns Earthquake.
