Poliwag

#0060

Because it is inept at walking on its newly grown legs, it always swims around in water.

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.

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.

In rivers with fast-flowing water, this Pokémon will cling to a rock by using its thick lips, which act like a suction cup.

It is possible to see this Pokémon’s spiral innards right through its thin skin. However, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.
