Poliwhirl is a blue, bipedal Pokémon with a spherical body. It has bulbous eyes that protrude from the top of its head. A black and white swirl covers its belly, which are actually its organs showing through its thin skin. It appears to have white gloves on its hands and rounded, digit-less feet.
Poliwhirl is a blue, bipedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body. It has bulbous eyes that protrude from the top of its head. A black and white swirl covers its belly, which is actually its organs showing through its thin skin. It appears to have white gloves on its hands and rounded, digit-less feet. When out of water, it sweats to keep its skin moist and healthy. This keeps it covered in an oily fluid that allows it to slip away from enemies. All of its skin feels this way except where its swirl is, which is instead very smooth. The swirl on its belly undulates slowly and staring at it induces drowsiness.


While Poliwhirl is capable of moving on land, it prefers to stay in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}. When out of water, it sweats to keep its skin moist. It is always covered in an oily fluid that allows it to slip away from enemies. All of its skin feels this way except where its swirl is, which is very smooth. The swirl on its belly undulates slowly, and staring at it induces drowsiness.
Even though Poliwhirl is capable of moving on land, it prefers to stay in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}} where it has fewer natural enemies. It feeds on both bug and fish Pokémon. While it will leave the water to capture bug Pokémon, it will return and consume them underwater in safety. Its swirl is used to make children fall asleep. Poliwhirl's sweat is filled with slimy mucus. When captured by an enemy, it either slithers to escape or use its swirl to put the enemy to sleep.

Poliwhirl cannot evolve into Politoed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its evolution will be interupted. Poliwhirl also cannot evolve into Politoed in {{LGPE}}, as Politoed is not present in those games.

** Poliwhirl was also featured prominently on the center of the November 22, 1999, issue of {{wp|Time Magazine}}.

* Poliwhirl's sprites and artwork are inconsistent with respect to its gloves. Sometimes, they are depicted as mittens, while other times, they have separate fingers.
** All spritework from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} onwards feature Poliwhirl with mitten-like hands. Because of this, Poliwhirl is one of the few Pokémon to have its {{v2|Emerald}} sprite differ from the {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} one.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Poliwhirl is based on a {{wp|glass frog}}. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the organs of these frogs and other tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin. Its evolution is based on a tadpole's {{wp|Metamorphosis#Amphibian metamorphosis|metamorphosis}}.

Its evolution is based on a tadpole's {{wp|Metamorphosis#Amphibians|metamorphosis}}. Its arms appear to be based on gloves, and with its {{t|Fighting}}-type {{p|Poliwrath|evolved form}} in mind, they may be based on {{wp|boxing gloves}} specifically.
