==Biology==
==Biology==
Politoed is a green, bipedal, frog-like Pokémon with yellow hands, belly, throat, and toes. It has a long, curled hair on top of its head and pink cheek spots that are smaller on the female than on the male. There is a green swirl on its belly. Its legs are well developed and it has bulbous toes and fingers.
Politoed is a green, bipedal, {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with yellow hands, belly, throat, and toes. It has a long, curled hair on top of its head and pink cheek spots that are smaller on the female than on the male. There is a green swirl on its belly. Its legs are well developed and it has bulbous toes and fingers.


Politoed acts as a leader to {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Poliwhirl}}, which gather from afar upon hearing its cry. Politoed likes to expand its throat and sing. When three or more assemble, they sing in a chorus with a loud, bellowing voice. The curled hair on Politoed's head is considered proof of its status as a king. The longer and curlier Politoed's hair is, the more Poliwag and Poliwhirl will obey it, and the more it is respected by other Politoed. Politoed is rarely found in the wild, though it is usually seen living [[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|by the water's edge]].

At nightfall, Politoed appears near lakes to make territorial claims through cries that sound like shooting. A male Politoed's cry is said to be louder than a female Politoed's cry. A male Politoed with a deep, menacing voice will become more popular with the opposite gender.

==In the anime==
===Evolution===
[[File:Politoed anime.png|thumb|250px|Politoed in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Politoed evolves from {{p|Poliwhirl}} and is one of the final forms of {{p|Poliwag}}, the other being {{p|Poliwrath}}.
===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Politoed]]====
{{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into a Politoed in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''. It is very cheerful to the point where it would occasionally lose focus in a {{pkmn|battle}} and start clapping.


====Other====
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)
In ''[[EP249|I Politoed Ya So]]'', {{OBP|Tammy|EP249}} owns a Politoed [[nickname]]d Bean and uses it and other Pokémon for a cheerleading squad. Bean is distinctive from other Politoed by the red band it wears around its head. It had a falling-out with Tammy, prompting her to ask Misty to lend her own Politoed to her for a while. Later, she and her Politoed made amends, and Tammy returned Misty's Politoed to her.

===Evolution===
===Evolution data===
Politoed [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Poliwhirl}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[King's Rock]]. Poliwhirl cannot evolve into Politoed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its evolution will be interupted. Poliwhirl also cannot evolve into Politoed in {{LGPE}}, as Politoed is not present in those games.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Politoed has the smallest level-up learnset of all Pokémon who evolve by [[Trade|trading]].
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Politoed and its [[Branched evolution|evolutionary counterpart]] {{p|Poliwrath}} shared the same [[base stats]]. This changed in Generation VI when Poliwrath received a ten-point increase to its Attack, but Politoed did not receive a stat increase. It shares this counterpart difference with {{p|Dustox}}.
* Politoed was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''Parapharyngodon politoedi'', a species of {{wp|Nematode|roundworm}}.<ref>[https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-helminthology/article/abs/new-species-of-parapharyngodon-chatterji-1933-oxyuroidea-pharyngodonidae-parasitic-in-osteocephalus-taurinus-anura-hylidae-from-brazil/EF3628BCF9F39DE5F9FF8C60E9CFD00F A new species of Parapharyngodon Chatterji, 1933 (Oxyuroidea: Pharyngodonidae), parasitic in Osteocephalus taurinus (Anura: Hylidae) from Brazil]</ref>


===Origin===
===Origin===
Politoed is likely based on a {{wp|tree frog}}, possibly the {{wp|European tree frog}}. The swirl on its stomach may represent visible internal {{wp|Organ (anatomy)|organs}}, like those of a {{wp|glass frog}}.
Politoed appears to be based on a {{wp|frog}}. The swirl on its stomach may represent visible internal {{wp|Organ (anatomy)|organs}} like those of {{wp|tadpole}}s that can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin. Politoed's status as a king to {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Poliwhirl}} and its evolution method using the [[King's Rock]] may be based on the story of {{wp|The Frog Prince}}, where the prince or the king is enchanted into a frog. Politoed's Hidden Ability of {{a|Drizzle}} may reference a Vietnamese folktale in which a toad travels to Heaven with a bear, a tiger, and a fox to ask the Jade Emperor to end a three-year-long drought.  


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Politoed is a combination of ''{{wp|tadpole|polliwog}}'', meaning tadpole, and a corruption of ''{{wp|toad}}''. It may also be a play on 'poly-toed', meaning "having many toes", since, as {{p|Poliwhirl}}, its feet were digitless.
Politoed may be a combination of ''{{wp|tadpole|polliwog}}'' (outdated term for tadpole) and ''toad''. It may also involve ''poly-'' (prefix for many) and ''toed''.


Nyorotono may be a combination of ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'' (the sound of slithering) and 殿 ''tono'' (lord). This is possibly inspired by the トノサマガエル ''tonosamagaeru'' ({{wp|dark-spotted frog}}), whose name literally means ''lord-frog'' in Japanese.
Nyorotono may be a combination of ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'' (onomatopoeia for wriggling) and 殿 ''tono'' (lord), as well as 殿様蛙 ''tonosama-gaeru'' ({{wp|Pelophylax nigromaculatus|dark-spotted frog}}).
