Every Poliwag card

The short version

Poliwag has six printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across six expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Promo A. It is a Basic Water-type Pokémon with 60 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to two rarities — five Commons and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Mega Rising, at about 1 in 838 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,928 packs, which is about 2.6 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of six different packs. The most recent is Poliwag #103, from an expansion that shipped in October 2024. That printing attacks with Surprise Attack for 40. The card’s own words: “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.” It has been drawn by five artists, MAHOU more than anyone else with two cards.
