Collector Insights

Poliwrath is a Water-type Pokémon with 150 HP, featured in the Sun & Moon series under the Unbroken Bonds set, released on May 3, 2019. The card is illustrated by Akira Komayama and classified as a Rare card. Its flavor text highlights its swimming prowess, noting it is a gifted swimmer among Water-type Pokémon despite typically spending time on land. Poliwrat has two attacks: Knuckle Punch, which costs two Colorless Energy to deal 50 damage, and Swirly Rush, requiring Water and two Colorless Energy to strike for 90+ damage. The latter attack boosts damage by 90 if Poliwag and Poliwhirl are on the player’s Bench. The Pokémon has a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy and is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. It lacks resistances, making it vulnerable to certain strategies in gameplay. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its evolutionary lineage while emphasizing its unique traits within the Pokémon TCG.

It's quite a gifted swimmer, even among Water-type Pokémon, but it normally spends its time on land.
