In-Depth Analysis
Poliwrath totals 510 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Attack (95) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (70).
Its Water, Fighting typing leaves Poliwrath with 5 weaknesses against 7 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 7 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Poliwrath a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
