Politoed (Japanese: ニョロトノ Nyorotono) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Poliwhirl when traded while holding a King's Rock. It is one of Poliwag's final forms, the other being Poliwrath.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)
Biology
Politoed is a green, bipedal, amphibian 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 Poliwag and Poliwhirl will obey it, and the more it is respected by other Politoed. Politoed is rarely found in the wild, though it is usually seen living by the water's edge.
At nightfall, Politoed appears near lakes to make territorial claims through cries that sound like shouting. A male Politoed's cry is said to be louder than a female Politoed's cry. A male Politoed with a deep, menacing voice will become more popular with the opposite gender.
Evolution
Politoed evolves from Poliwhirl and is one of the final forms of Poliwag, the other being Poliwrath.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Evolution data
Politoed evolves from Poliwhirl when traded while holding a King's Rock. Poliwhirl cannot evolve into Politoed in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen before the player obtains the National Pokédex, as its evolution will be interupted. Poliwhirl also cannot evolve into Politoed in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as Politoed is not present in those games.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
- Main article: Polibo
In Ampharos Amore, Silver borrowed Gold's Poliwhirl, Polibo, in exchange for his Seadra. Due to the effects of the King's Rock Polibo was holding, along with the trade between Silver and Gold, Polibo evolved into a Politoed. Later, he was returned to his original Trainer.
Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All
In the TCG
- Main article: Politoed (TCG)
Trivia
- Prior to Generation VI, Politoed and its evolutionary counterpart Poliwrath shared the same base stats. This changed in Generation VI when Poliwrath received a ten-point increase to its Attack, but Politoed did not receive a stat increase. It shares this counterpart difference with Dustox.
- Politoed was the inspiration for the naming of Parapharyngodon politoedi, a species of roundworm.[1]
Origin
Politoed appears to be based on a frog. The swirl on its stomach may represent visible internal organs like those of tadpoles that can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin. Politoed's status as a king to Poliwag and Poliwhirl and its evolution method using the King's Rock may be based on the story of The Frog Prince, where the prince or the king is enchanted into a frog. Politoed's Hidden Ability of Drizzle may reference a Vietnamese folktale in which a toad travels to Heaven with a bear, a tiger, and a fox to ask the Jade Emperor to end a three-year-long drought.
Name origin
Politoed may be a combination of polliwog (outdated term for tadpole) and toad. It may also involve poly- (prefix for many) and toed.
Nyorotono may be a combination of ニョロニョロ nyoronyoro (onomatopoeia for wriggling) and 殿 tono (lord), as well as 殿様蛙 tonosama-gaeru (dark-spotted frog).
