#57 Poliwhirl - Base Set 2 (base4)
Poliwhirl is a Water-type Pokémon from the Base Set 2, featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori. It has 60 HP and requires one Colorless Energy to retreat. The card includes two attacks: Amnesia, which costs two Water Energy and prevents the defending Pokémon from using one of its attacks during the opponent’s next turn, and Doubleslap, which costs two Water and one Colorless Energy to deal 30 damage multiplied by the number of heads from two coin flips. Poliwhirl’s weakness is to Grass-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text describes it as capable of living in or out of water, with a habit of sweating to maintain a slimy body. It was released in the Base Set 2 series on February 24, 2000. The card’s theme color is a soft blue-gray, matching its Water typing. Poliwhirl’s design and mechanics align with its role as a standard Water Pokémon in the game’s early iterations.
