Poliwrath [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Poliwrath #9 is one of the English Neo Discovery holo rares, a standout from the June 1, 2001 expansion that pushed the TCG deeper into Johto and the Ruins of Alph era.
Card History
This card turns Poliwrath into a pure Fighting-type Stage 2 with a huge 70-damage Submission, giving the classic Water Pokémon a bruiser identity that feels especially memorable in the WotC era.
In-Game
Its flavor text comes straight from Poliwrath’s Johto-era Pokédex characterization, highlighting the fun contradiction that this powerhouse is an elite swimmer that still prefers living on land.
Cultural Impact
Later Pokédex lore says many children learn to swim by imitating Poliwrath, which adds a charming cultural layer to a card otherwise framed as a hard-hitting holo tank.
Artist
Shin-ichi Yoshida’s illustration gives this Neo Discovery holo a dense, muscular presence that perfectly matches Poliwrath’s long-running image as one of Kanto and Johto’s toughest amphibious fighters.
