===Abilities===
  +
Much like its pre-evolutions and alternate evolution, it has access to [[Damp]] (which prevents self-destructive attacks from being used) and [[Water Absorb]] (which heals up when it is hit by a water move). Its hidden ability is [[Drizzle]], which is formerly synonymous with [[Kyogre]], giving it the ability to set up [[Rain Dance|rain]] upon switching in.
  +
  +
Politoed serve as the leader of its pre-evolutions and can gather them from far and wide by using its cry. It is a very good singer and does so by expanding its throat.

Revision as of 18:44, 19 July 2020

Politoed (Japanese: ニョロトノ Nyorotono) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Politoed is a green, bipedal, frog-like Pokémon with yellow hands, belly, throat, and toes. It has a long, curled hair on top of its head and pink cheek spots that are smaller on the female than on the male. There is a green swirl on its belly. Its legs are well developed and it has bulbous toes and fingers.

Gender differences

Male Politoed have larger cheeks than the females.

Abilities

Much like its pre-evolutions and alternate evolution, it has access to Damp (which prevents self-destructive attacks from being used) and Water Absorb (which heals up when it is hit by a water move). Its hidden ability is Drizzle, which is formerly synonymous with Kyogre, giving it the ability to set up rain upon switching in.

Politoed serve as the leader of its pre-evolutions and can gather them from far and wide by using its cry. It is a very good singer and does so by expanding its throat.

Evolution

Politoed is the evolved form of Poliwhirl by trading Poliwhirl while holding King's Rock.

Anime

Misty Politoed

Misty's Politoad.

Misty owns a Politoed after evolving from a Poliwhirl who wears the King's Rock owned by Ash. Politoed appears as a happy-go-lucky Pokémon and it was later shared by Brock's Ludicolo. In the XY series, it was later followed by Tierno's Politoed whose personality has a combination between both Misty's and Brock's Ludicolo due to Tierno rhythmic dance training and its battles.

Manga

In the Pokémon Adventures Manga, Gold has a Politoed.

Trivia

  • Politoed's shiny in Generation II was a dark green color with the yellow being replaced with lavender. Today, it has blue skin and the yellow is replaced with pink.
  • Politoed is one of the 11 Generation II Pokémon that is an evolution of a Generation I Pokémon.
  • Apparently,if 3 or more Politoed gather, they sing in a chorus.
  • Politoed’s curly hair is supposedly its status as king,and also indicates how obedient it’s pre evolutions are to it and how much it is respected by others.
  • Politoed has the least amount of learnable moves out off all the trade evolutions.

Origin

Politoed may be based on a tree frog and the glass frog considering how it’s pre evolutions have a visible stomach swirl.

Etymology

Politoed’s name is a pun on Poliwag (its first form), which is in turn named after the Pollywog, toad(although it is a frog) and poly toed(which is a joke to the fact that it grew many toes after it evolved from Poliwhirl).

in other languages

  • Japanese:Its name is a pun on nyoronyoro(onomatopoeia for slithering,despite the fact that it’s not a snake) and tono(lord, hence its evolution method and behavior).It may be a pun on the dark spotted frog, whose Japanese name means lord frog.
