The short version
Poliwhirl has five printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across five expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Pulsing Aura. It is a Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon printed at between 80 and 90 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to two rarities — four Uncommons 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 five different packs. The most recent is Poliwhirl #034, from an expansion that shipped in April 2026. That printing attacks with Hit Twice for 30x. The card’s own words: “Its skin is moist all over its body. The skin on its belly spiral also feels smooth.” It has been drawn by five artists.
