Pokédex entries

I

Its newly grown legs prevent it from running. It appears to prefer swimming than trying to stand.

II

Because it is in­ ept at walking on its newly grown legs, it always swims around in water.

III

POLIWAG has a very thin skin. It is possible to see the POKéMON’s spiral innards right through the skin. Despite its thinness, however, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.

IV

Its skin is so thin, its internal organs are visible. It has trouble walking on its newly grown feet.

V

Its skin is so thin, its internal organs are visible. It has trouble walking on its newly grown feet.

VI

Its slick black skin is thin and damp. A part of its internal organs can be seen through the skin as a spiral pattern.

VII

The swirl on its belly is its internal organs showing through. If the swirl is tinged white, that means it’s affected by some disease.

VIII

For Poliwag, swimming is easier than walking. The swirl pattern on its belly is actually part of the Pokémon’s innards showing through the skin.
