Poliwhirl is a Water-type Pokémon found in Rivers and Swamps. It evolves from Poliwag at level 25. Poliwhirl evolves into Poliwrath with a Water Stone or into Politoed when traded holding a King's Rock.

The spiral pattern on Poliwhirl's belly subtly undulates. Staring at it gradually causes drowsiness.
