Poli (Japanese: ニョロ Nyoro) was Red's first Pokémon in the Pokémon Special manga.

History

Poli was Red's first Pokémon and was obtained before the first chapter of Pokémon Special. Along with Pika and Saur, it is one of Red's most frequently used Pokémon.

In Buzz Off, Electabuzz!, Poli evolves into Poliwrath to save Red from drowning after touching a Water Stone, one of the four stones speculated to be at the bottom of Vermilion Harbor. Red has a flashback to his little Poliwag evolving to save him from drowning before.

At the Pokémon League, Poli and Pika helped Saur defeat Blue's Charizard.

During the Gold arc, Red does not carry Poli on his team with him, enabling him to use both Blue's Blastoise and Green's Charizard. This is a reference to Red's team in Pokémon Gold & Silver.

Poli's Damp ability combined with Deoxys use of Skill Swap enabled Red to counter Carr's exploding Forretress in the FRLG arc.

Trivia

  • Unusually for starter Pokémon of main characters in any kind of Pokémon media, Poli was actually obtained before the beginning of the series. However, this did start a trend with main characters in Special.
  • Similar to Ash's Pikachu, Poli is already evolved at the start of Special, however, he was not evolved when Red first obtained him, as he is seen as a Poliwag in a flashback.
  • Both times Poli has evolved, it was in order to save Red.
  • When Poli first evolved into Poliwrath, his evolution without the use of a Water Stone was thought to be an error, however it was later explained that there was in fact a Water Stone in the lake.
