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

It evolves from Poliwhirl when traded holding a King's Rock. It is one of Poliwag's final forms, the other being Poliwrath.

Biology

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.

Politoed acts as a leader to Poliwag and Poliwhirl, which gather from afar upon hearing its cry. Politoed likes to expand its throat and sing. When three or more assemble, they sing in a chorus with a loud, bellowing voice. The curled hair on Politoed's head is considered proof of its status as a king. The longer and curlier Politoed's hair is, the more it is respected by other Politoed. Politoed lives by the water's edge.

A Politoed is owned by a family of traveling circus performers in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.

Trivia

  • Politoed has the smallest level-up learnset of all Pokémon who evolve by trading.

Origin

Politoed is likely based on a tree frog, possibly the European tree frog. The swirl on its stomach may represent visible internal organs, like those of a glass frog.

Name origin

Politoed is a combination of polliwog and a corruption of toad. It may be a play on the phrase 'poly-toed', meaning 'possessing toes' (the feet were digitless as Poliwhirl).

Nyorotono may be a combination of ニョロニョロ nyoronyoro (the sound of slithering) and 殿 tono (lord). This is possibly inspired by the トノサマガエル tonosamagaeru (dark-spotted frog), whose name literally means lord-frog in Japanese.
