Poliwag (Japanese: ニョロモ Nyoromo, German: Quapsel, French: Ptitart) is a Water-type Pokémon.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Emerald
- It is possible to see this Pokémon's spiral innards right through its thin skin. However, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.
- Pokémon FireRed
- Its slick black skin is thin and damp. A part of its internal organs can be seen through the skin as a spiral pattern.
- Pokémon LeafGreen
- Its newly grown legs prevent it from walking well. It appears to prefer swimming over walking.
Name origin
Poliwag appears to be a misspelling of polliwog, outdated English for tadpole. The wag may refer to its tail, although it is worth noting that polliwog literally means head-wiggle. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ nyoronyoro, the sound of slithering.
Poliwag has the appearance of a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles are sometimes seen through their transparent skin.
