The cry of a male is louder than that of a female. Male Politoed with deep, menacing voices find more popularity with the opposite gender.
At nightfall, these Pokémon appear on the shores of lakes. They announce their territorial claims by letting out cries that sound like shouting.
The longer and more luxurious the curled hair on its head, the greater the number of Poliwag and Poliwhirl that will obey it.
Although its cries sound like screams, a composer created a beautiful ballad that was influenced by the sounds.
It’s the leader of Poliwag and Poliwhirl. When Politoed roars, they all cower in fear.
They gather on moonlit nights to form a large chorus. Their cries sound angry and not at all pleasant, but they are certainly distinctive.
