Overview |
Poliwag are amphibious Pokémon, capable of life both on land and in water. That being said, however, they are much better at swimming in the water with their tails than walking on dry land with their feet; terrestrially, they are very clumsy, often falling and rolling around helplessly. Still, they try to venture onto land in order to strengthen their legs, though they will flee into the water at the first sign of danger. Their skin is so thin that light can pass through it, rendering it transparent. The spirals on their belly, actually their innards, can differ in direction depending on which side of the equator the Poliwag was born; those with clockwise spirals are from the northern hemisphere, while those with counter-clockwise ones are from the southern hemisphere.. Their skin must be kept moist at all times--when not in the water, they are in constant danger of drying out. As a result, they rarely stray too far from the water’s edge (if they leave it at all). Their thin skin also leaves Poliwag particularly vulnerable to water pollution, which they can easily absorb. Their swirls will pale when they are ill. However, this skin is also very flexible and slippery, bouncing off the fangs and claws of attackers. Poliwag primarily feed on algae and lily pad roots. They are skittish Pokémon that hide from foes amongst aquatic plants.
