Poli Decision Time!

I love poliwag and poliwhirl, and sort of resented poliwrtath for not being as good. Still, i evolved whirl into wrath rather than toed because i thought toed was a bit of an add-on the the family. Recently though i have seen toed in a new light, and was torn between the two. So, i would like to decide by comparing their best moveset. Please write their movesets so i can make up my mind.

Poliwrath@?

Politoed@?

Politoed & Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb

~ Ice Beam

~ Psychic
~ Hypnosis

Poliwrath & Salac Berry

Nature: Jolly (+Spd, -SAtk)

Poliwrath is a lot cooler :< But impartially speaking, Poliwrath is better. Pretty much any Water Type can do what Politoad can and better. Suicune, Milotic, and Lanturn, just to name a few. Poliwrath's unique Typing and balanced Stats make it useful. Poliwrath's ideal moveset might be harder to construct InGame. Politoed is easier to work with.

^Remember, this is In-Game. HP is a bit... Out of the question!

I happen to prefer Poliwrath... 10fold.

Poliwrath@ Leftovers
Brave Nature
Evs-232 Attack, 180 HP, 68 Sp Def, 30 Def
-Belly Drum
-Brick Break
-Return
-EQ
That is one of the ones I use.

Poliwrath and Politoad happen to be a perfect Pairing. You have them side by side, Poliwrath covering your Physical Typing and Politoad your Special.

Yeah, I was thinking that, but with the lovely ammount of HP and Defences Poliwrath comes with, a Sub may not be needed.

These sets are definitely recommended. I like Politoad more than Wrath. I don't know why.
