Poliwrath looks superficially similar to Poliwhirl. However, it has gained more muscle, especially around its arms, which are now quite thick. Its eyes have changed from having wide pupils to small ones. It also appears to have a scowl.

Poliwrath debuts in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' when {{Special|Red}}'s ''[[Poli]]'' evolves into one to save its trainer from drowning. It's a muscular Pokémon who sends its enemies flying with {{m|Seismic Toss}}. {{Special|Gold}} also sees the same Poliwrath in a "Book of Champions", and then tells his Poliwag that it'll also become a Poliwrath.

Poliwrath seems to be based on some amphibians that can stay as a tadpole their whole life.  The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
