Poliwrath (Japanese: ニョロボン Nyorobon, German: Quappo, French: Tartard) is a Water/Fighting-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon LeafGreen
A swimmer adept at both the front crawl and breaststroke. Easily overtakes the best human swimmers.

Name origin

Poliwrath's name appears to be a combination of polliwog and wrath, meaning anger. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ nyoronyoro, the sound of slithering.

The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.

In EP168, Misty's rival in a Seaking Catching contest owned a Poliwrath.

Chuck used a Poliwrath against Ash in his Gym Battle in EP209.

In EP247, Misty challenged another trainer whose main Pokémon was Poliwrath. After seeing it in action, Team Rocket tricked this trainer into giving his Poliwrath to them.
