Poliwrath is a Water-type Pokémon with 140 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. It appears in the XY series' Evolutions set, released on November 2, 2016, as a Rare Holo card. The card’s artwork is by Ken Sugimori, known for his detailed Pokémon designs. Poliwrath has two attacks: Dashing Punch, which costs one Water Energy and deals 50+ damage if the Pokémon was on the Bench and became Active this turn, and Whirlpool, requiring three Water Energy to deal 80 damage while discarding an Energy from the opponent’s Active Pokémon. It has no resistances and is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text highlights its swimming prowess, noting it masters strokes like front crawl and butterfly.

An adept swimmer, it knows the front crawl, butterfly, and more. It is faster than the best human swimmers.
