In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash and Misty both used {{ball|Lure}}s on a wild {{AP|Totodile}}. The Balls captured the Pokémon out of sight, so Ash and Misty had a tournament to see who got the toothy {{type|Water}}. During a battle against {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, Misty's Poliwag [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Poliwhirl}}. Although Misty still lost, she concluded that she preferred the Poliwhirl who was willing to evolve to help her rather than the Totodile that essentially did whatever it wanted.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'', Misty used Poliwhirl in the [[Seaking Catching Day]] competition. During the competition, Misty and Poliwhirl formed a rivalry with [[Andreas]] and his {{p|Poliwrath}}. Poliwhirl and Misty managed to hook a {{p|Seaking}} just as time ran out for the competition. Both Andreas and Misty had a 55 kilometer Seaking, meaning they had to battle each other to decide the winner. The battle started with Poliwhirl getting overwhelmed due to battling its evolved form. It lost its confidence and hid behind Misty. [[Misty's Psyduck]], {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} then popped out of their balls to encourage Poliwhirl and it decided to resume the battle. Poliwhirl then beat Poliwrath, winning the competition for Misty.

Misty used Poliwhirl in the second and third rounds of the [[Whirl Cup]] in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''. In the second round Poliwhirl started against Ash's Totodile. Ash starts it off by having Totodile use Water Gun, but Poliwhirl dives underwater to evade it. Poliwhirl makes some swift movements and Misty commands it to use Bubble. Poliwhirl jumps out and fires the Bubble, dazing Totodile for a while. Poliwhirl attempts to come back with a DoubleSlap but Totodile dodges and Headbutts it back to a pillar. Poliwhirl isn't finished yet as it kicks off the pillar and then does a high speed dive towards Totodile and goes for a DoubleSlap again, [[fainting|knocking Totodile out]]. Ash recalls Totodile and sends out {{AP|Kingler}}. Misty again commands Poliwhirl to unleash another Bubble but Kingler dishes out a {{m|Crabhammer}} attack. An energy sphere is sent across the arena causing whirlpools to form. The energy hits Poliwhirl sending it tossing with the whirlpools and Kingler uses another Crabhammer attack, knocking Poliwhirl out.

Misty again starts with Poliwhirl in the third round against [[Trinity]] and her {{p|Gyarados}}. Misty tells Poliwhirl to use Bubble, but Trinity tells Gyarados to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Gyarados quickly charges up and fires the Hyper Beam, knocking the Bubble away and knocking Poliwhirl out.

In ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'', on the way to [[Blackthorn City]], Misty fought [[Delaney|a Trainer]] with a Poliwrath and lost. Misty started to consider evolving her own Poliwhirl. Misty took her Poliwhirl to the local [[Pokémon Center]] to be healed. On the way, Poliwhirl picked up the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} that Ash had won in a tournament. Misty did not notice this, and simply gave Poliwhirl to [[Nurse Joy]] for treatment.

Shortly afterward, in a battle against {{TRT}}, Misty recovered her Poliwhirl via transfer machine from another Pokémon Center and let it out. It was summoned wearing the King's Rock, surprising Misty when it evolved into Politoed before her eyes. Misty was thrilled with her newly-evolved Pokémon.

As a {{p|Poliwag}} it was very friendly, cheerful, and liked to help people. This is demonstrated in the episode Misty catches it in, ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''. After it evolved {{an|Misty}} began to use it in many battles, as it became a very strong Pokémon. Poliwhirl also had a bit of a confidence problem, shown in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]'' when Poliwhirl would hide behind Misty when overwhelmed.
