Poliwrath 32/149 · Sun & Moon

Poliwrath is Pokédex #062, generation 1 (Kanto). Poliwrath is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Poliwhirl. In this catalog that name is Poliwhirl (#061).

Poliwrath sits at 32/149 in Sun & Moon, position 32 of 173. Before it is 31 Poliwhirl, and after it is 33 Shellder. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 3, 2017. The printed size is 149. This checklist is longer, at 173 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Split Spiral Punch lists 30 damage. The cost is Water. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Confused. Wake-Up Slap is another attack lists 80+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. If your opponent's Active Pokémon is affected by a Special Condition, this attack does 80 more damage. Then, remove all Special Conditions from that Pokémon. Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Its percentage of body fat is nearly zero. Its body is entirely muscle, which makes it heavy and forces its swimming prowess to develop."

Poliwrath (#062) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 16 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2024. The earliest other card is Poliwrath 13/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Poliwrath list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Midori Harada. I count 352 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Sun & Moon set binder is where a full Sun & Moon set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Poliwrath can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
