Polibo: Difference between revisions

In ''[[PS109|Ampharos Amore]]'', Gold and {{adv|Silver}} become trapped under the collapsed [[Tin Tower]]. Silver tells Gold to send out his {{type|Water}} Pokémon, because water will pull up underground water, which will let them escape. Gold sends out Polibo but the maximum amount of water that Polibo can use is too small. Polibo then evolves into Poliwhirl and Silver tells Gold to [[trade]] using the [[Pokédex]]. Gold trades him for {{p|Seadra}} just as the tower is completely filled with mud. Then, water shoots out of the tower, along with Silver, Gold, {{TP|Silver|Croconaw}}, and Gold's evolved Politoed. [[PS110|After]] they escape [[Team Rocket]] appears and attacks the group. After a brief fight Gold tells Polibo to use {{m|Water Gun}}, but Polibo ignores him. Silver takes over and commands Polibo to attack their {{p|Piloswine}}, and with the power of liquefaction and Polibo's {{m|Whirlpool}}, Piloswine is defeated. Afterwards Silver trades Polibo back to Gold.

In ''[[PS111|Tyranitar War]]'' Polibo is sent out to battle against Silver's {{p|Tyranitar}}, and attempts to attack with his advantageous water attacks, but is thwarted by {{TP|Silver|Murkrow}} and is beaten. Polibo is later used in ''[[PS113|Delibird Delivery - 1]]'' to battle against the Masked Man again. Gold has Polibo use {{m|Dynamic Punch}}, but Polibo's hand becomes frozen.

In ''[[PS164|Slick Slowking]]'', Polibo is used to battle against [[Sham]] and [[Carl]]. Polibo attacks with {{m|Hypnosis}} and manages to put his opponents to sleep, but is stopped when their {{p|Magcargo}} and {{p|Slowking}} continue to attack through {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}. Magcargo attacks with a powerful {{t|Fire}} attack and overwhelms Polibo, forcing Gold to recall him.  

In ''[[PS172|The Last Battle VI]]'', Polibo is used in Gold's last battle against the Masked Man. Knowing that {{p|Delibird}} was key to the Masked Man's strategy he had Polibo defeat it with a {{m|Perish Song}}, though this also took him out of the fight.

In ''[[PS442|Out-Odding Oddish]]'', Polibo is used in the [[Pokéathlon]] alongside [[Aibo]] and [[Exbo]]. They start with the Skill Course, which ends with the round Snow Throw. The team throws snowballs at their opponents, but Gold commands Aibo to create a gigantic one. Aibo throws it, giving Gold enough points to win the Skill Course. The same three are later entered into the Stamina Course and manage to win that one as well. In the [[PS443|next chapter]] the three enter the Power Course and go up against [[Koga]], [[Bruno]], and [[Will]], members of the [[Elite Four]]. When the match starts Gold is shocked to see his team being defeated by his opponents. At Circle Push, Koga's {{p|Muk}} easily pushes Polibo, Aibo, and Exbo away from it. In Goal Roll, Will's {{p|Exeggutor}} kicks several balls into a goal while Polibo, Aibo, and Exbo fail to block them. In Block Smash, Gold faces Bruno and his {{p|Machamp}} as his final opponents. Machamp does a powerful blow that destroys a whole row of blocks instantly while on Gold's side, Aibo attacks the cracked area in the center, but doesn't do much to the block. He switches to Polibo, but he only manages to destroy one. Gold switches to Exbo next, who manages to break more blocks and is the closest to matching Machamp, but not by much. Gold soon reveals that Aibo is attacking for critical hits on the blocks. By doing so, it sends Gold's team into High Tension mode, allowing him to quickly catch up with Bruno. Bruno tries to fight back, but Machamp's arms have become too injured to be used again. Gold has Aibo leap into the air and send a powerful strike in the dead center of the block, destroying them all and giving Gold the win.

In ''[[PS459|All About Arceus VIII]]'', Polibo is used to fight against {{adv|Arceus}}. He attacks with a powerful {{m|Bounce}}, but fails to do any real damage.
