Poli | Prior to the start of the series, Red owned Poli as a Poliwag. While swimming one day Red began to drown and Poli was unable to do anything but watch. Due to being unable to save Red in his current state he [[evolved]] into Poliwhirl and saved him. Poli first appeared in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', being used by {{adv|Red}} to help capture a {{p|Nidorino}}. Poli was later used to battle against a wild {{adv|Mew}}, but was knocked out in a hit. | ||
In ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'', Poli was used alongside [[Saur]] and [[Pika]] to help Red in his Gym battle to win the [[Boulder Badge]]. Poli was used in Red's first battle against a Trainer's {{p|Graveler}} and was able to win by using one-hit knockouts and complimentary moves, despite starting off with low health. | |||

In ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'', Poli was the only member of Red's team to infiltrate the [[S.S. Anne]]. Immediately upon entering the two of them end up battling a {{p|Voltorb}}, but Poli ends up paralyzed. Due to Poli being paralyzed and unable to help out Red is forced to dodge the powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}} attacks from [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Electabuzz}}. Right when it seems the two of them are trapped Red reveals their plan, which had Poli secretly drip a trail of water on the floor leading to Lt. Surge and Electabuzz. At Red's command Poli uses {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the legs of Lt. Surge and Electabuzz, and with the smoke of a launched Poké Ball the two escapes safely. While trying to find the exit Poli is attacked by a {{p|Magneton}} and captured by Lt. Surge, who throws him off the ship. Red attempts to rescue him, but is electrocuted and throw into the ocean as well. As Red begins to recall a similar situation he is saved by Poli, who evolved into a Poliwrath. With his new found strength Poli easily out powers Electabuzz with his new {{m|Seismic Toss}}. In the {{chap|Yellow}}, it is revealed that Poli was able to evolve without a [[Water Stone]] due to the Vermilion Harbor having traces of the four evolutionary stones speculated to be at the bottom of {{DL|Vermilion City|Harbor|Vermilion Harbor}}. | |||
In ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]'', Poli is accidentally [[trade]]d to {{adv|Blue}} alongside Saur and Pika. During the three days that Blue has them he trains them vigorously. They later traded back, while keeping the serious attitude that Blue installed in them. | |||
In ''[[PS020|Meanwhile…Vileplume!]]'', Poli is used in Red's Gym battle against [[Erika]] in his fight to save [[Vee|Eevee]]. Poli goes up against her {{p|Bellsprout}}, with Red being confident that it will be an easy victory. Poli attacks with {{m|Double Slap}} but is stopped on the last hit and counter attacked with Bellsprout's {{m|Mimic}}, knocking Poli out. | |||
In ''[[PS037|Golly, Golem!]]'', Poli is used as Red's first Pokémon in his battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}. Red sends out Poli to attack, but in the short amount of time that he does so, Giovanni successfully releases his {{p|Cloyster}} and freezes Poli. | |||
During the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]], Poli is used in a battle against a Trainer's {{p|Kabutops}}, advancing Red to the semi-finals. In ''[[PS040|A Charizard…and a Champion]]'', Poli and Pika helped Saur defeat [[Blue's Charizard]] in a brilliant strategy by having Poli's water vapor and Pika's electric energy create a thundercloud that struck a vine shot and wrapped around it by Saur. | |||
==={{chap|Yellow}}=== | |||
In ''[[PS066|Punching Poliwrath]]'', Poli is shown in a flashback fighting against [[Bruno]]'s {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Poli was easily able to block all of Hitmonchan's attacks and strike back with Double Slap, but was taken out when Hitmonchan attacked with Thunder Punch and {{m|Fire Punch}}. Poli was used in Red's rematch against Bruno in ''[[PS084|Clefabulous Clefable]]'', where he is used to battle against {{p|Machamp}}. Machamp quickly overpowers him after his belt is removed and holds Poli down. Vee manages to use the water Poli left to use {{m|Acid Armor}} to surprise attack Machamp, allowing him to defeat it. | |||
==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=== | |||
In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', Poli was part of the team that Red used in his test to become [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym Leader]], though he was not seen participating. | |||
==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}=== | |||
[[File:Red and Poli.png|thumb|left|150px|Poli and Red]] | |||
Poli was used to battle against Carr’s {{p|Steelix}} in ''[[PS278|Put Your Beast Foot Forward]]''. Poli sends a {{m|Focus Punch}} at Steelix, sending it flying. Carr tries to counter with Steelix's {{m|Iron Tail}}, but Poli simply catches it in his hands, using {{m|Mind Reader}} to predict the attack. Poli then lifts Steelix into the air by its tail and smashes it into the ground. | |||
Poli's {{a|Damp}} [[Ability]] combined with Deoxys's use of {{m|Skill Swap}} enabled Red to counter [[Carr]]'s exploding {{p|Forretress}} in | Poli's {{a|Damp}} [[Ability]] combined with Deoxys's use of {{m|Skill Swap}} enabled Red to counter [[Carr]]'s exploding {{p|Forretress}} in ''[[PS301|Storming the Forretress]]''. | ||

[[File:Poli and Polibo.png|thumb|right|150px|Poli and Polibo]] | |||
In ''[[PS335|The Final Battle VIII]]'', Poli joined forces with {{adv|Gold}}'s [[Polibo]] while battling against [[Guile Hideout]]. After saving {{adv|Emerald}} and his [[Emerald's Dusclops|Dusclops]] from {{p|Jirachi}}'s {{m|Doom Desire}} attack, Poli used {{m|Double Team}} to confuse Guile Hideout so that Polibo could get a chance to sneak closer and attack. Although Guile Hideout tried to send his {{p|Walrein}} and {{p|Masquerain}} to attack the Tadpole and Frog Pokémon, they simply threw them away and attacked Guile Hideout directly, breaking his armor. | |||

Poli | Being {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon, Poli has a strong relationship with his [[Trainer]]. Due to all the time they have spent together they can formulate plans without the use of words, which Red says they used to use to escape from bullies. Poli cares deeply for Red, saving him from drowning by [[evolving]] on two separate occasions. Poli has good battling skills, even though he often loses the battles he participates in. | ||
