Politoed

Frog Pokémon ^#186

At nightfall, these Pokémon appear on the shores of lakes. They announce their territorial claims by letting out cries that sound like shouting.

The cry of a male is louder than that of a female. Male Politoed with deep, menacing voices find more popularity with the opposite gender.

- Water-Absorb
  Whenever a water-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. Water moves will ignore this Pokémon's substitute.
- Damp
  While this Pokémon is in battle, self destruct and explosion will fail and aftermath will not take effect.

- Drizzle
  The weather changes to rain when this Pokémon enters battle and does not end unless replaced by another weather condition. If multiple Pokémon with this ability, drought, sand stream, or snow warning are sent out at the same time, the abilities will activate in order of Speed, respecting trick room. Each ability's weather will cancel the previous weather, and only the weather summoned by the slowest of the Pokémon will stay.

The longer and more luxurious the curled hair on
its head, the greater the number of Poliwag and
Poliwhirl that will obey it.
