politoed

Politoed is a Water-type Pokémon distinguished by its frog-like appearance and its designation as an optional evolution of Poliwhirl. Politoed can be evolved from Poliwhirl when it is traded while possessing a King's Rock. Its vibrant green color, circular body, and unique yellow underbelly and hands set it apart among Water-type Pokémon.

Type: Water

Abilities:

• Water Absorb: This unique ability enables Politoed to recover its HP when struck by a Water-type move, making it a formidable match for other Water Pokémon.
• Damp: This savvy ability blocks the execution of moves such as Self-Destruct and Explosion while Politoed is present in the battle, thus strategically influencing the battle.
• Hidden Ability (Drizzle): This tactical ability initiates rain when Politoed enters the field of battle, this enhances Water-type moves and can activate specific abilities and moves such as Swift Swim and Thunder.

Interesting Facts:

• Evolution Line: Politoed represents an alternative evolution in the Poliwag line, evolving from Poliwhirl when traded holding a King's Rock; this differentiates it from Poliwrath, which evolves from Poliwhirl via a Water Stone.
