Chased Poliwag leap into the nearest body of water, then turn to face their pursuers. The rippling surface and their bouyant bobbing amplify their stomach’s hypnotic powers, leading to predator species dozing in shallows.

Recently-evolved Poliwhirl are so fascinated by their new hands that they will grab anything they see. This results in items scattered in strange spots, as they drop what they carry to hold something else.

Politoed encourage evolution for their Poliwhirl subjects to Poliwrath as powerful guards, but only the most skilled rule well enough to avoid Poliwrath revolts. The Poliwrath afterwards have problems with authority.

When presented with a Water Stone and a King’s Rock, most Poliwhirl are paralyzed with indecision. After evolution, Politoed hoard Water Stones and other shiny trinkets. Politoed ponds are free of litter, because they either hoard it or throw it elsewhere.
