This Pokémon’s sweat is a slimy mucus. When captured, Poliwhirl can slither from its enemies’ grasp and escape.
Staring at the swirl on its belly causes drowsiness. This trait of Poliwhirl’s has been used in place of lullabies to get children to go to sleep.
Its health suffers when its skin dries out, so be sure to moisturize it diligently.
Although it has become capable of living on land, it spends its time in the water, where its prey, fish Pokémon, are plentiful.
It marches over the land in search of bug Pokémon to eat. Then it takes them underwater so it can dine on them where it’s safe.
Although it can live on land, it prefers to stay in the water, where it has fewer natural enemies.
