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).
Information[edit]
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.

After being purified, this Poliwrath could be transferred to any of the third generation color versions.
