Politoed (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Politoed is a combination of the word ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and a corruption of the word ''{{wp|toad}}''; the misspelling is relevant, however, because it is likely in reference to the fact that it has six distinct toes and is thus "poly-toed". Its Japanese name may be a combination of ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and 殿 ''tono'', lord. This name 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.
