Poltaro (Japanese: ニョたろう Nyotaro) is one of the Pokémon owned by Gold in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

History

As a Poliwag

As a Poliwag, it was one of the family Pokémon at Gold's home that he grew up with. When the Team Rocket grunts stole Gold's backpack, containing the Poké Balls of his family Pokémon, Poltaro's Poké Ball was washed away by the stream and ended up with a wild Granbull, who Gold defeated and got back. It had hopes to evolving into a Poliwrath, similar to how Red's Poli turned out. Later on, when Gold was at the Tin Tower, it had evolved into a Poliwhirl when the tower was collapsing and then into a Politoed when he traded with Silver while wearing the King's Rock after the tower had collapsed.

In the Emerald arc, it was seen again in The Final Battle IX where it had teamed up with Poli to destroy Guile Hideout's armor.
