 ==History==
-Poli was the first Pokémon {{Special|Red}} has ever gotten. Later on in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', remembering how his little {{p|Poliwag}} [[evolve]]d to save him when he was drowning, a Poliwrath emerges from the water with Red in its arms, after touching a {{evostone|Water Stone}}, speculated to be one of the four stones at the bottom of {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor, later used by Red to allow his Eevee to switch between its evolutions. At the {{g|League}}, along with [[Pika]] it helped [[Saur]] defeat Green's Charizard. Its {{a|Damp}} [[ability]] combined with Deoxys use of [[Skill Swap]] enabled Red to counter [[Carr]]'s exploding {{p|Forretress}} in the [[FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Special)|FRLG arc]].
+Poli was {{Special|Red}}'s first ever Pokémon and was obtained before the first chapter of Special.
+Along with [[Pika]] and [[Saur]], he is one of Red's most frequently used Pokémon.
+ Later on in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', remembering how his little {{p|Poliwag}} [[evolve]]d to save him when he was drowning, a Poliwrath emerges from the water with Red in its arms, after touching a {{evostone|Water Stone}}, speculated to be one of the four stones at the bottom of {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor, later used by Red to allow his Eevee to switch between its evolutions.
+At the {{g|League}}, along with [[Pika]] it helped [[Saur]] defeat Blue's Charizard.
+During the Gold arc, Red does not carry Poli on his team with him, so that he can use both Blue's Charizard and Green's Blastoise.
+ Its {{a|Damp}} [[ability]] combined with Deoxys use of [[Skill Swap]] enabled Red to counter [[Carr]]'s exploding {{p|Forretress}} in the [[FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Special)|FRLG arc]].

+==Trivia==
+* Unusually for starter Pokémon of main characters in any kind of Pokémon media, Poli was actually obtained before the beginning of the series. However, this did start a trend with main characters in Special.
+* Similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]], Poli is already evolved at the start of Special, however, he was not evolved when Red first obtained him, as he is seen as a Poliwag in a flashback.
+* Both times Poli has evolved, it was in order to save Red.
+* When Poli first evolved into Poliwrath, his evolution without the use of a Water Stone was thought to be an error, however it was later explained that there was in fact a Water Stone in the lake.
