Poli was {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon. It is unknown when Red received or caught Poli. Flashbacks show Red as a young child with the Pokémon, before the first chapter of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As a child, Red would have drowned, if it wasn't for Poli [[evolution|evolving]] from a {{p|Poliwag}} to a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, who brought him up to the surface. | Poli was {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon.

As a child, Red would have drowned, if it wasn't for Poli [[evolution|evolving]] from a {{p|Poliwag}} to a {{p|Poliwhirl}}, who brought him up to the surface. As a Poliwhirl, it was Red's main battling Pokémon despite him making other catches such as a {{p|Nidorino}} with it, though its defeat against a wild {{p|Mew}} is what causes Red to rethink his hubris in thinking there was no one in the world who could best him, and [[Blue's Charmander]] later injured it badly. | ||

It was also principal in Red's battle for the {{badge|Boulder}}, though its ample amount of uncured damage from past battles prevented it and Saur from competing in the final match against [[Brock]]. It is not seen battling much afterward, only for carrying Misty's {{p|Staryu}} out of [[Mt. Moon]], and in an attempt to demobilize a wild {{p|Fearow}} which survived Pika's {{m|Thunder}}, forcing Poli to freeze it to incapacitate it. | ||
In ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', Poli evolves into Poliwrath to save Red from drowning again after he falls off the [[S.S. Anne]]. At first, it was believed that Poli somehow evolved without a {{evostone|Water Stone}}. However, in the {{chap|Yellow}}, it is explained that he touched one of the four evolutionary stones speculated to be at the bottom of [[Vermilion Harbor]]. | In ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', Poli evolves into Poliwrath to save Red from drowning again after he falls off the [[S.S.

At the [[Pokémon League]], Poli and Pika helped [[Saur]] defeat [[Blue's Charizard]]. | At the [[Pokémon League]], Poli and Pika helped [[Saur]] defeat [[Blue's Charizard]] in a brilliant strategy to have Poli's water vapor and Pika's electric energy create a thundercloud that struck a vine shot and wrapped around it by the {{p|Venusaur}}. | ||
With Red missing for most of the Yellow chapter, Poli was not seen in battle except in a match against [[Bruno]]'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in which it seemed to hold the upper hand until its {{m|Thunderpunch}} attacks eventually deplete Poli's health, finishing it. It also participates in Red's rematch against the Elite 4, where it is again beaten by a powerful {{p|Machamp}} in yet another ruse: the water that leaked from it when being stopped allowed [[Vui]] to maneuver behind his Pokémon by surprise, allowing it to evolve into a {{p|Jolteon}} and defeat them with a massive {{m|Pin Missile}}. | |||
During the Gold arc, Red does not carry Poli on his team with him, enabling him to use both [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]] and [[Blue's Charizard]]. This is a reference to {{ga|Red}}'s team in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. | During the Gold arc, Red does not carry Poli on his team with him, enabling him to use both [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]] and [[Blue's Charizard]].

Poli's {{a|Damp}} [[ability]] combined with Deoxys's use of {{m|Skill Swap}} enabled Red to counter [[Carr]]'s exploding {{p|Forretress}} in the [[FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)|FRLG arc]]. | Poli's {{a|Damp}} [[ability]] combined with Deoxys's use of {{m|Skill Swap}} enabled Red to counter [[Carr]]'s exploding {{p|Forretress}} in the [[FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)|FRLG arc]]. It also defeats Carr's{ {p|Steelix}}, showing an impressive feat of hurling the megaton monster away. However, once {{p|Deoxys}} arrived and launched its {{m|Psycho Boost}} attack, Poli and the rest of its teammates are nearly killed after shielding Red from the blast, which shatters the boy's confidence. | ||
