Poliwag (Japanese: ニョロモ Nyoromo) is a Water-type Pokémon.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen
- Its newly grown legs prevent it from walking well. It appears to prefer swimming over walking.
- Pokémon Yellow
- The direction of the spiral on the belly differs by area. It is more adept at swimming than walking.
- Pokémon Gold
- Because it is inept at walking on its newly grown legs, it always swims around in water.
- Pokémon Silver
- The direction of its belly spiral differs by area. The equator is thought to have an effect on this.
- Pokémon Crystal
- The swirl on its belly is its insides showing through the skin. It looks clearer after it eats.
- Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
- Poliwag has a very thin skin. It is possible to see the POKéMON's spiral innards right through the skin. Despite its thinness, however, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.
- Pokémon Emerald
- It is possible to see this Pokémon's spiral innards right through its thin skin. However, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.
- Pokémon FireRed
- Its slick black skin is thin and damp. A part of its internal organs can be seen through the skin as a spiral pattern.
Name origin
Poliwag appears to be a misspelling of polliwog, outdated English for tadpole. The wag may refer to its tail, although it is worth noting that polliwog literally means head-wiggle. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ nyoronyoro, the sound of slithering.
Poliwag has the appearance of a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles are sometimes seen through their transparent skin.
Obtaining
In side games
- Pokémon Snap: Several Poliwag are on the right bank of the river. They will dive in if you hit them with enough Pester Balls. Once in, they sometimes jump out of the water when an item is tossed in.
