The card features artwork by Miki Tanaka and is classified as a Common rarity. Poliwag has two attacks: Sleep Bubble, which costs 1 Water energy to deal 10 damage and puts the defending Pokémon to sleep, and Doubleslap, requiring 2 Colorless energy to deal 20 damage multiplied by the number of heads from flipping 2 coins. The Pokémon has no resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking double damage from such attacks.
