Politoed is a Water-type Pokémon that evolves from Poliwhirl if it is traded while holding a King's Rock, who evolves from Poliwag at level 25. It is one of the final forms of Poliwag, the other form being Poliwrath.

The curled hair on Politoed's head is proof of its status as a king. It is said that the longer and more curled the hair, the more respect this Pokémon earns from its peers.
