Poli was {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon. It is unknown when Red received Poli or if he caught Poli. Flashbacks show Red as a young child with the Pokémon, before the first chapter of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As a child, Red would have drowned, if it wasn't for Poli [[evolution|evolving]] from a {{p|Poliwag}} to a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, who brought him up to the surface. As a Poliwhirl, he was Red's main battling Pokémon despite him making other catches such as a {{p|Nidorino}} with it, though his defeat against a wild {{p|Mew}} is what causes Red to rethink his hubris in thinking there was no one in the world who could best him, and [[Blue's Charmander]] later injured it badly. | Poli was {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon.

Along with [[Pika]] and [[Saur]], he is one of Red's most frequently used Pokémon. He was also principal in Red's battle for the {{badge|Boulder}}, though his ample amount of uncured damage from past battles prevented him and Saur from competing in the final match against [[Brock]]. He is not seen battling much afterward, only for carrying Misty's {{p|Staryu}} out of [[Mt. Moon]], and in an attempt to demobilize a wild {{p|Fearow}} which survived Pika's {{m|Thunder}}, forcing Poli to freeze it to incapacitate it. | Along with [[Pika]] and [[Saur]], he is one of Red's most frequently used Pokémon.

In ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', Poli evolves into Poliwrath to save Red from drowning again after he falls off the [[S.S. Anne]], having been thrown off deck by [[Lt. Surge]] before.

At the [[Pokémon League]], Poli and Pika helped [[Saur]] defeat [[Blue's Charizard]] in a brilliant strategy to have Poli's water vapor and Pika's electric energy create a thundercloud that struck a vine shot and wrapped around it by the {{p|Venusaur}}. | At the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]], Poli and Pika helped [[Saur]] defeat [[Blue's Charizard]] in a brilliant strategy to have Poli's water vapor and Pika's electric energy create a thundercloud that struck a vine shot and wrapped around it by the {{p|Venusaur}}. | ||

He also participates in Red's rematch against the Elite Four, where he is again beaten by a powerful {{p|Machamp}} in yet another ruse: the water that leaked from it when being stopped allowed [[Vee]] to maneuver behind his Pokémon by surprise, allowing it to evolve into a {{p|Jolteon}} and defeat them with a massive {{m|Pin Missile}}. | ||
During the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, Red does not carry Poli on his team with him, enabling him to use both [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]] and [[Blue's Charizard]].

Poli's {{a|Damp}} [[Ability]] combined with Deoxys's use of {{m|Skill Swap}} enabled Red to counter [[Carr]]'s exploding {{p|Forretress}} in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. He also defeated Carr's {{p|Steelix}}, showing an impressive feat of hurling the megaton monster away. However, once {{p|Deoxys}} arrived and launched its {{m|Psycho Boost}} attack, Poli and the rest of its teammates are nearly killed after shielding Red from the blast, which shatters Red's confidence. | Poli's {{a|Damp}} [[Ability]] combined with Deoxys's use of {{m|Skill Swap}} enabled Red to counter [[Carr]]'s exploding {{p|Forretress}} in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}.

Although Guile Hideout tried to send his {{p|Walrein}} and {{p|Masquerain}} to attack the Tadpole and Frog Pokémon, they rather simply threw them away and attacked Guile Hideout directly, breaking his armor. | ||
