==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Politoed and its [[Branched evolution|evolutionary counterpart]] {{p|Poliwrath}} shared the same [[base stats]]. This changed in Generation VI when Poliwrath received a ten-point increase to its Attack, but Politoed did not receive a stat increase. It shares this counterpart difference with {{p|Dustox}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
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 through the item [[King's Rock]] may be based on the worldwide known story and its variants, {{wp|The Frog Prince}}, where the prince or the king is enchanted into a frog. Politoed's Hidden Ability 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.
