Poliwrath (Japanese: ニョロボン, Hepburn: Nyorobon) (PAUL-lee-rath[1]) is a Water/Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Poliwrath appears to have a blue round shaped body with a white belly and a black spiral on it. It also appears to have white fists and its pupil grow smaller than its pre-evolutions.
Behavior[]
Poliwrath is an adept swimmer and can outspeed even the fastest of human swimmers. However, it prefers to inhabit dry land rather than spending most of its life in aquatic habitats.
Its muscle development is incredibly strong that Poliwrath itself can swim the entire Pacific Ocean without resting.
In the Alolan Region, Poliwrath are well known as expert breast stroke swimmers. Children often imitate how Poliwrath swims.
Poliwrath's body is all solid muscle. It is able to swim through frigid waters and smash through ice floes with its powerful arms. A skilled swimmer and martial artist, Poliwrath uses its strong arms to dish out powerful attacks.
Natural abilities[]
Poliwrath may have the abilities Water Absorb or Damp or the hidden ability Swift Swim. Water Absorb restores a little of Poliwrath's HP when hit by a Water-type move instead of taking damage. While Damp prevents the use of Self-Destruct or Explosion. Swift Swim raises Poliwrath's speed in the rain.
Evolution[]
Poliwrath is the evolved form of Poliwhirl by use of a Water Stone. It is one of the final evolved forms of Poliwag.

Appearances[]
Anime[]
Tad had a Poliwrath appearing in Charizard Chills where it fought Ash's Charizard. A Poliwrath also appeared in Outrageous Fortunes under the ownership by Delany. Chuck had a Poliwrath in Machoke, Machoke Man!. In The Battling Eevee Brothers, a Poliwrath appeared. A Poliwrath also appears in the Pokémon Summer Academy in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team! and Hook, Line and Stinker respectively.
Manga[]
In the Pokémon Adventures Manga, Red has a Poliwrath that evolved from a Poliwhirl. It is also Red's first Pokémon.
Trivia[]
- Poliwrath, along with Lucario, are the only Fighting-types that can learn Psychic that aren't paired with the Psychic-type.
- Poliwrath is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex to evolve from a Water Stone.
- Poliwrath's Pokédex entries state the Pacific Ocean which means that the Pokémon Universe and the real world are somehow connected.
- Poliwrath's shiny has been the same from Generation III to Generation VII, but in Generation II, it had teal skin instead of green skin.
- In Generation II, there is a man with a Poliwrath that says he wishes his Pokémon evolves into a frog Pokémon. This is an error since Poliwrath is both a frog Pokémon and also already fully evolved.
Origin[]
Poliwrath appears to be based off a frog. Its stomach pattern being a swirl may be a reference to how tadpoles have a transparent underbelly, showing their spiraling intestines. Its fighting-type may reference how frogs have much more muscle than tadpoles and are able to defend themselves better once they are done metamorphosing.
Etymology[]
Poliwrath's name comes from 'polliwog' and 'wrath'.
