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. | ||
