* In [[Generation I]] sprites prior to {{game|Yellow}}, the swirl on Poliwhirl's stomach goes in a clockwise direction, starting from the outside. But in other sprites, it is in the counterclockwise direction. The same goes for {{p|Poliwrath}}.
* Poliwhirl is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order to evolve by trading while holding [[evolution-inducing held item|an item]].
