#15 Poliwrath - Base Set 2 (base4)
Poliwrath is a Water-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless Energy. It appears in the Base Set 2, released in February 2000, and is illustrated by Ken Sugimori. The card’s flavor text highlights its proficiency in swimming, describing it as adept at both front crawl and breaststroke techniques. Poliwrath has no resistances but is weak to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its two attacks include Water Gun, which costs two Water and one Colorless Energy, dealing 30 damage plus 10 additional damage for each Water Energy attached to it, up to a maximum of 20. The second attack, Whirlpool, requires two Water and two Colorless Energy, dealing 40 damage and discarding one Energy card from the defending Pokémon if it has any attached. The card’s theme emphasizes its aquatic prowess and strategic combat capabilities through its Energy interactions.
