Poli Decision Time!

[Edward Prior]

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
EVs: 220 HP/234 SAtk/56 SDef
Nature: Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
~ Ice Beam
~ Surf
~ Psychic
~ Hypnosis

Poliwrath & Salac Berry
Ability: Water Absorb

Nature: Jolly (+Spd, -SAtk)
~ Belly Drum
~ Brick Break
~ Hidden Power [Ghost]
~ Substitute


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 think i'll stick with poliwrath ;062;hugs;062;

Poliwrath owns, but I question Fighting_master's set slightly because of the risk you take with Belly Drum. InGame I'd put Substitute over Earthquake.

 

[magnemiteZ]

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.
