{{adv|Gold}}'s Poliwag, [[Polibo]], evolved into Poliwhirl in ''[[PS109|Ampharos Amore]]'' when Gold and {{adv|Silver}} were trapped inside the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]]. With Silver's knowledge of Pokémon [[trade|trading]], Gold temporarily traded Poliwhirl to Silver via their Pokédexes, prompting Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when the effects of his [[King's Rock]] activated from the trade, triggering the evolution.
