Read more ↓Poliwag is a Water-type Tadpole Pokémon, first introduced in Generation I, known for its distinctive spiral pattern on its belly. This pattern is actually a visible part of its internal organs, a unique biological feature that has intrigued fans since its debut. Poliwag evolves into Poliwhirl, which can then evolve into Poliwrath with a Water Stone, or Politoed when traded holding a King’s Rock. Its natural habitat includes freshwater lakes and ponds, where it spends its time swimming. Poliwag is primarily herbivorous, feeding on aquatic plants and algae. In the Pokémon anime, Misty, a prominent Gym Leader and one of Ash’s companions, famously owns a Poliwag that evolves into a Politoed, highlighting its role as a beloved and recognizable Pokémon. Its design, inspired by real-world tadpoles, makes it an endearing and memorable creature within the Pokémon universe. The spiral is said to have a hypnotic effect, a trait sometimes incorporated into its abilities in the games.
