Every Poliwrath card

The short version

Poliwrath has five printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across three expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Mega Rising. It is a Stage 2 Water and Fighting-type Pokémon printed at between 150 and 180 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 2. They run to five rarities — one Rare, one Double Rare, one Super Rare, one Special Art Rare 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 the Mega Gyarados, Secluded and Charizard packs. The most recent is Poliwrath #297, from an expansion that shipped in October 2025. That printing carries the ability Counterattack and attacks with Mega Punch for 80. The card’s own words: “Its body is solid muscle. When swimming through cold seas, Poliwrath uses its impressive arms to smash through drift ice and plow forward.” It has been drawn by five artists.
