+'''Poliwhirl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロゾ''' ''Nyorozo'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
-'''Poliwhirl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロゾ ''' ''Nyorozo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.
-It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Poliwag}} at [[level]] 25, and then into either {{p|Poliwrath}} via {{evostone|Water Stone}} or {{p|Politoed}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon which evolve when traded|traded}} holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}.
+It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Poliwag}} starting at [[level]] 25 and evolves into either {{p|Poliwrath}} when exposed to a [[Water Stone]] or {{p|Politoed}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[King's Rock]].
+(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for these details.)
 ==Biology==
-===Physiology===
+[[File:Poliwhirl concept art.png|thumb|250px|left|Part of its internal anatomy, as seen in its conceptual art]]
-Poliwag undergoes a dramatic change when it evolves to Poliwhirl. The most notable difference is that it has become bigger and gained arms with gloved hands while losing its tail. The eyes have moved to the top of its head and it apparently loses its visible mouth. Its nostrils are now visible. Curiously, the swirl on its abdomen as {{p|Poliwag}} reverses when it evolves. The skin on most of Poliwhirl’s body is moist, due to an oily fluid. However, the skin on its belly spiral feels smooth.
+Poliwhirl is a blue, bipedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body. It has bulbous eyes that protrude from the top of its head. A black and white swirl covers its belly, which is actually its organs showing through its thin skin. It appears to have white gloves on its hands and rounded, digit-less feet. When out of water, it sweats to keep its skin moist and healthy. This keeps it covered in an oily fluid that allows it to slip away from enemies. All of its skin feels this way except where its swirl is, which is instead very smooth. The swirl on its belly undulates slowly and staring at it induces drowsiness.
-====Gender differences====
-None.
-====Special abilities====
+Even though Poliwhirl is capable of moving on land, it prefers to stay in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}} where it has fewer natural enemies. It feeds on both bug and fish Pokémon. While it will leave the water to capture bug Pokémon, it will return and consume them underwater in safety. Its swirl is used to make children fall asleep. Poliwhirl's sweat is filled with slimy mucus. When captured by an enemy, it either slithers to escape or use its swirl to put the enemy to sleep.
-In addition to the abilities it had as Poliwag, Poliwhirl can now walk and {{m|Surf|swim}} even better than before. The surface of Poliwhirl's body is always wet and slick with an oily fluid. Because of this greasy covering, it can easily slip and slide out of the clutches of any enemy in battle. Staring at the swirl on Poliwhirl’s belly may gradually cause drowsiness, a property that Poliwhirl puts to use when performing the move {{m|Hypnosis}}. As a {{type2|Water}}, Poliwhirl can learn Water-type moves such as {{m|Bubble}} and {{m|Water Gun}} and, using its glove-like hands, moves like {{m|DoubleSlap}} and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}.
+{{left clear}}
-===Behavior===
+===Evolution===
+Poliwhirl evolves from {{p|Poliwag}} and evolves into either {{p|Poliwrath}} or {{p|Politoed}}.
-Poliwhirl is skilled at walking and thus is capable of living on land, but prefers to stay in water, where there is less danger. If it is out of water, it sweats to keep its skin moist. If it hears the echoing cries from its evolution, Politoed, it shall respond by gathering from far and wide.

-==In the manga==
-[[Image:Poli as Poliwhirl.png|thumb|left|200px|Poliwhirl as it appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
-===Pokémon Adventures===
-''Poli'' was {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon. It debuted in the first round of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' as Poliwhirl, however was captured before the start of the chapter as a Poliwag. It gained more importance in [[Lt. Surge]]'s story arc, in fact it evolved in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' while saving Red from drowning in the sea due to the specks of {{evostone|Water Stone}} present in the water.
-{{adv|Gold}}'s Poliwag ([[Poltaro]]) evolved into Poliwhirl in {{PAV|9}} when Gold and {{adv|Silver}} were trapped inside [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. With Silver's knowledge of Pokémon [[trade|trading]], Gold temporarily traded Poliwhirl to Silver via their Pokédexes, prompting Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when the effects of its [[Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock]] activated from the trade, triggering the evolution.
-==In the TCG==
-{{main|Poliwhirl (TCG)}}
-==Other appearances==
-===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
-Poliwhirl only appears as a random trophy.
-====Trophy information====
-Poliwhirl is a Tadpole Pokémon able to live on either land or in the water. When on dry land, it's constantly sweating to keep its skin nice and slimy. When in danger, it spins the whirlpool marking on its stomach to put enemies into a deep sleep, then it runs away. It evolves into either Poliwrath or Politoed.

 ===Origin===
-Poliwhirl seems to be based on a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin. Its evolution is based on how a tadpole evolve into a frog.
+Poliwhirl may be based on a {{wp|tadpole}} and a {{wp|frog}}. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the organs of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin. Its evolution is based on a tadpole's {{wp|Metamorphosis#Amphibians|metamorphosis}}. Its arms appear to be based on gloves, and with its {{t|Fighting}}-type {{p|Poliwrath|evolved form}} in mind, they may be based on {{wp|boxing gloves}} specifically.
 ====Name origin====
-Poliwhirl appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''whirl'', referring to the spiral on its stomach. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering.
+Poliwhirl may be a combination of ''{{wp|tadpole|polliwog}}'' (outdated term for tadpole) and ''whirl'' or ''whirlpool''.
