In the anime
Misty's Poliwhirl evolved into a Politoed in Outrageous Fortunes. Misty's Politoed is very cheerful up to the point where it would occasionally lose focus in a battle and start clapping.Tammy, a young girl who used Pokémon for cheerleading mistook Misty's Politoed for her own in I Politoed Ya So. She asked Misty to lend it to him for a while since she and her Politoed were angry at each other; later, they make amends and Tammy gives Misty's Politoed back to her.
May battled against a Politoed in the Wisteria Town Contest in Harley Rides Again.
In the manga
Pokémon Special
In the 9th volume of Pokémon Special, Silver "borrowed" Gold's Poliwhirl in exchange for his own Seadra. Due to the effects of the King's Rock Poliwhirl was holding, plus the effects of both Gold and Silver's communication devices, Poliwhirl evolved into Politoed, and Seadra evolved into a Kingdra.
