Collector Insights

Poliwrath is a Water-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featured in the HeartGold & SoulSilver series as part of the HS—Unleashed set, released on May 12, 2010. It requires three Colorless Energy to retreat and has no resistances, making it vulnerable to Lightning-type attacks that deal double damage. The card includes two attacks: Steamroll, which costs Water and Colorless Energy to deal 40 damage and inflict 20 damage to a Benched opponent Pokémon, and Dynamic Punch, a more powerful move that costs Water and two Colorless Energy, dealing 60 damage plus 40 additional damage if a coin flip lands heads, while also causing the Defending Pokémon to become Confused. Poliwrath’s design reflects its dual nature as a skilled swimmer and land-dwelling creature, as noted in its flavor text. The card is classified as Rare and was illustrated by Naoyo Kimura. It does not have any abilities listed beyond its attacks, and its weaknesses and retreat costs are clearly defined. This version of Poliwrath is numbered 21 in the set and is part of the broader Pokémon TCG collection.

Although an energetic, skilled swimmer that uses all of its muscles, it lives on dry land.
