Poliwhirl [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Card History
This Base Set Poliwhirl is a faithful early TCG translation of the video games, because both Amnesia and Doubleslap are moves Poliwhirl can learn in the main series.
Artist
The artwork is credited to Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer whose game artwork defined the look of the franchise’s earliest cards.
Set Lore
Because Poliwhirl appears in the English Base Set, this card belongs to the very first wave of Pokémon TCG cards released in the United States on January 9, 1999.
In-Game
Poliwhirl has one of Generation I’s most interesting evolution stories, evolving from Poliwag at level 25 and later branching into either Poliwrath or, in later games, Politoed.
