Overview |
Politoed are jovial Pokémon, often seen clapping and hopping around ponds. They congregate in triplets or quartets (colloquially known as “choruses”) and sing together; their harsh croaking sounds like rumbling bellows or even screaming when they do so. Despite this, there is a famous Johto composer who wrote a haunting ballad based on the soudns of a Politoed chorus. Lone Politoed are often the heads of local communities of Poliwag and Poliwhirl, commanding them sternly with their croaks. The curls on their heads are symbols of dominance. When their positions are challenged by intruding or recently-evolved Politoed, the ones with larger curls ultimately become the leaders. Politoed with short curls or curls lost in battle have been observed to command little to no respect from their peers; their bellows will simply be ignored. Politoed are equally adept in the water as they are on land. Because of their porous skin, they must return into the water at least once every 24 hours in order to rehydrate themselves. When choruses of least four Politoed are observed singing together, it is said that rainstorms are imminent. Their cheeks will also inflate slightly before drizzles.
