Collector Insights

Poliwhirl is a Water-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a themecolor of #80a6bb. It was first released in the Expansion Pack set on October 20, 1996, as a Uncommon rarity card with the number 28. The card is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori and belongs to the Pokémon supertype. Poliwhirl has two attacks: "Amnesia" and "Doubleslap." The "Amnesia" attack costs two Water energy and prevents the defending Pokémon from using one of its attacks during the opponent's next turn. "Doubleslap" requires three energy costs—two Water and one Colorless—and deals 30 damage multiplied by the number of heads from two flipped coins. These attacks highlight the card's strategic versatility within the game's mechanics.
