1) He's a pissed off frog
2) Water/Fighting is basically the coolest dual-type that exists until they make Poison/Steel
3) His dukes are up all the time
4) He basically moves like Mike Tyson
5) He's OG from Gen 1
6) Why the HELL would you choose Politoed instead

They're Heathens, that's why.

I agree, btw. I always wanted him on my team just because he's sick.

90 HP
95 Attack
95 Defense
90 Special Defense

Learns Superpower, Waterfall, Bulk Up, Earthquake, Ice Punch, etc

You were sayin'

He's bulky AF and is a water type

That's a recipe for success

There are no shinies in Gen 1

Although IIRC they can become shiny in the game you transfer them to

Yeah, you can use ACE to have the right DVs before the transfer so that they turn shiny. No external tools, totes legit.

It can't learn Superpower. That's its biggest flaw, that it doesn't have a decent physical Fighting move and has to rely on stuff like Focus Blast, Circle Throw, or Focus Punch.

Yes it can learn Superpower.

In Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, which will allow transfers to Gen 8

It also learns Brick Break

If it gets Superpower in Gen 8 it'll definitely be better (though I wish it would get Close Combat). Brick Break is a bit too weak coming off a 95 attack.

Edit: And I see that Poliwhirl also gets Low Kick, which could be useful.

I like him, it's a shame he sucked in every tier he got put in from like gen 2 through to whenever they banned drizzle + swift swim. At least he's decent where he is now, I like water+fighting.

Now that he actually learns good fighting moves, he can move up the chain where he belongs

He's so damn bulky for a fighting type. 95 HP, 95 DEF and 90 SpD is really good

eeh, the bulk is nice, he just can't afford to be as slow as he is. He can switch into fires and darks to mop them up, but it means he has to take a couple of hits. While he can do that, the only way he's got to recover health is by switching into a water attack or by dedicating wish support (which could be used on something more dedicated to bulk and stalling).

Hey, if they can turn Pelipper into a top-tier threat in one gen, then they can do the same for Poliwrath in the new ones, who knows.

Politoed has Drizzle, and a better support moveset. You could get away with a gimmick team of 'toed and 'wrath for that drizzle/swift swim synergy.
