Pokémon · Poliwag | Compare

Choose a variant below. Closely related recipes, conditions or opening branches are collected here so you can compare them without moving between almost identical pages.

The version and limits of the original source apply to every entry. Quantities and requirements belong to the named variant; do not add alternative recipes or opening lines together.

These options share a planning task. Their differences stay visible in the individual rows and calculators.

These are modern typings and base forms, not original Generation I rules. The stat formula follows the mainline Generation III+ model. One-stat EV input is not a legal full-team EV allocation. Abilities, Terastallization, items, weather and individual moves can override type-only multipliers. This is not Pokémon GO or a game-availability list.

Using this reference

For Poliwag, separate base stats from the stat calculated for your chosen level. The base value stays fixed in this reference; level, IV, EV and nature are inputs for an individual stat. Change one input at a time to see which part of the result it affects.

The type chart answers a different question. It combines the recorded defensive types against one attacking type, without choosing a move or applying battle effects. When comparing evolutions, keep the level and training inputs the same so the difference is actually about the Pokémon.
