Collector Insights
Poliwag is a Water-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featured in the HeartGold & SoulSilver series as part of the HS—Unleashed set. It has a Common rarity and was released on May 12, 2010. The card’s artist is Naoyo Kimura, and its flavor text describes how the direction of its belly spiral varies by area, with the equator potentially influencing this trait. Poliwag’s attacks include Call for Family, which costs one Colorless energy to search for a Basic Pokémon and place it on the Bench, then shuffle the deck, and Razor Fin, a two-energy attack that deals 20 damage. The Pokémon has no resistances but is weak to Lightning, taking double damage from such attacks. It requires one Colorless energy to retreat. The card’s design reflects its status as a foundational Water-type Pokémon in the Pokémon TCG.
The direction of its belly spiral differs by area. The equator is thought to have an effect on this.
