Using it in a run

Poliwhirl spreads 385 base stat points. Its strongest stat is Speed (90) and its weakest is Special Attack (50), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Electric and Grass. It resists Fire, Ice and Steel in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 11 moves; the hardest-hitting is Double-Edge at 120 power, available at level 66. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
