    7:02 "Its brother, Politoad..."
    7:22 "Its cousin, Politoad..."
    No wonder is stats are so low. That family tree has intertwining branches.

      Nah, in many Asian countries, if you are close, you can consider your cousins your brothers.... it's basically Politoad disowning Poliwrath... Y^Y

      nah,it is not inbreeding if a woman gets impregnated by a 2 men who are brothers as long as they are not related to her.

      Well they are supposed to be Frogs.
      Consider how many tadpoles are born from a single couple; odds are at least some of them are inbred.

    For those interested, I looked at this video and tried to find a tier in gen 7 that Poliwrath would be viable in. Funnily enough, it actually can function in Gen 7 OU. With a defensive set, Poliwrath can counter Ash-Greninja, Protean ninja not packing Extrasensory (Which none of them do, unless you're me XD), Heatran, Mega Scizor, Blacephalon, both Gyarados forms (though it's a softer check, but it balances out since unfortunately neither of the Gyarados forms are big metagame threats), Volcarona, Keldeo, and rain teams in general. Here's the set:
    Poliwrath @ leftovers
    Ability: Water Absorb
    252 sp.def, 252 hp, 4 atk
    Sassy/ Careful nature
    Rock Slide
    Scald/Toxic
    Circle Throw
    Protect
    This set can check the aforementioned threats very well, though it will need support since it has no recovery aside from leftovers and the one-time Water Absorb heal if your opponent doesn't know it can have that ability.
    Calcs
    +2 252 SpA Volcarona Savage Spin-Out (175 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 226-267 (58.8 - 69.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
    252 SpA Choice Specs Greninja-Ash Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 85-101 (22.1 - 26.3%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery
    252 SpA Choice Specs Blacephalon Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 169-199 (44 - 51.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
    252+ SpA Flash Fire Heatran Inferno Overdrive (180 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 186-220 (48.4 - 57.2%) -- 46.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
    252 SpA Magearna Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Poliwrath: 152-180 (39.5 - 46.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery (This isn't a threat it's supposed to check, but it's still impressive since it's a super-effective move)
    It's surprisingly effective. It's not gonna become the next Toxapex (not even close), but I think it has potential if it's used correctly.

    I’ve always liked Poliwrath’s design, he reminds me of old 1930/1940 cartoons I love those. He definitely needs a mega evolution or a major increase in speed and/or attack. Ehh hopefully for the new Pokemon switch game, they release more Megas.

      Thats a little bit too much boosts since poliwrath doesnt necessarily need aqua jet however it is lacking in fighting moves and 110 attack and defense!? That is obsurd in balancing plus Poliwrath got a 10 point stat buff in gen 6 And what I am pointing is politoed in gen 6 politoed did not get a 10 point stat buff in gen 6 And you're saying poliwrath needs more buffs!?

      Gen 1: Absolutely amazing, one of the best Pokemon competitively.
      Gen 2: Very solid but threatened due to the rise of Bug-type moves.
      Gen 3: Only really relevant in Ubers thanks to Groudon, who was a presence on Sun teams, where it is able to sweep effectively.
      Gen 4: Basically a Venusaur for Trick Room teams.
      Gen 5: Much more mediocre of a sun sweeper than in Gen 3 due to the presence of new threats, but still fairly okay for sun teams.
      Gen 6: Best Chlorophyll user in NU definitely means something, but it requires a lot of support and the Sun nerf was awful.
