'''Poliwrath''' is a muscular amphibious Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation games. It is one of two possible final forms of [[Poliwag]]'s evolutionary line, with the alternative being [[Politoed]] (starting in the second generation).

A Poliwrath evolves from [[Poliwhirl]] when exposed to the Water Stone. The clearest difference between these two forms is that Poliwrath has a set of well-developed muscles that never grow fatigued with any amount of exercise. Using all the muscles in its body, it can overtake any human swimmers and can even cross the Pacific Ocean just by kicking. Poliwrath is also a master of the breaststroke, butterfly and front crawl. Poliwrath can even run on the surface of the water for a split-second.
 
 
 
Despite its energy and skill as a swimmer, the average Poliwrath lives on dry land.

In ''[[Pokémon Pinball]]'', Poliwrath was obtained through evolution. Amongst the Pokémon line of [[e-Reader]] games, Poliwrath was featured in the "GO, Poliwrath!" minigame in which the player controlled it in a race against [[Marill]] and [[Golduck]]. A Shadow Poliwrath could also be snagged from Cipher Admin Gorigan at Citadark Isle in ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]''. After being purified, this Poliwrath could be transferred to any of the third generation color versions. In ''[[Pokémon Trozei!]]'', it appeared at Endless Level 9, Forever Level 58, Pair Trozei and Mr. Who's Den. 
 
 
 
Poliwrath could only be recruited in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Teams]]'' by evolving a Poliwhirl, while in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]]'' it could be recruited at the first twenty-four basement floors of Lake Afar.  Poliwrath appeared in ''[[Pokémon Ranger]]'' at Jungle Relic and Panula Cave. In ''[[Pokémon Rumble]]'', it was found at Bright Beach.

*Poliwrath have had several appearances in the Pokémon anime. One episode of the Orange Islands season pitted Ash's [[Charizard]] against one twice, with Charizard winning the second battle. During the Johto series, [[Chuck]] used a Poliwrath in battle with Ash, while another episode had [[Misty]] competing against an enemy with a Poliwrath that Team Rocket tried using, but Misty's freshly evolved Politoed wound up being victorious.
 
*In the Pokémon Adventures manga, one of Red's main Pokémon was a Poliwrath that evolved from his first Pokémon. It evolved into Poliwrath to save Red from drowning during the battle with [[Lt. Surge]] due to a Water Stone that was secretly at the bottom of Vermilion's harbor.
 
 
 
=Trivia=
 
 
 
*Its name is a combination of "polliwog" and "wrath".
 
*Despite being a fully mature Pokémon, it is still classified as a "tadpole" and only the alternate evolution Politoed is an actual grown frog.
