Blue | Its newly grown legs prevent it from running. It appears to prefer swimming than trying to stand. |
Yellow | The direction of the spiral on the belly differs by area. It is more adept at swimming than walking. |
Gold | Because it is inept at walking on its newly grown legs, it always swims around in water. |
Silver | The direction of its belly spiral differs by area. The equator is thought to have an effect on this. |
Crystal | The swirl on its belly is its insides showing through the skin. It looks clearer after it eats. |
Firered | Its slick black skin is thin and damp. A part of its internal organs can be seen through the skin as a spiral pattern. |
Leafgreen | Its newly grown legs prevent it from walking well. It appears to prefer swimming over walking. |
Heartgold | Because it is inept at walking on its newly grown legs, it always swims around in water. |

Sun | The swirl on its belly is its internal organs showing through. If the swirl is tinged white, that means it’s affected by some disease. |
Moon | It’s still not very good at walking. Its Trainers should train this Pokémon to walk every day. |
UltraSun | Despite the danger, it wants to come up on land. So it does its best to waddle along, but when an enemy finds it, it rushes back to the water. |
UltraMoon | The direction of the swirl on their stomachs differs depending on where they live. Poliwag aficionados can tell them apart at a glance. |
Sword | For Poliwag, swimming is easier than walking. The swirl pattern on its belly is actually part of the Pokémon’s innards showing through the skin. |
Shield | In rivers with fast-flowing water, this Pokémon will cling to a rock by using its thick lips, which act like a suction cup. |
