Poliwrath looks superficially similar to Poliwhirl. However, it has gained more muscle, especially around its arms, which are now quite thick. Its eyes have changed from having wide pupils to small ones. It also appears to have a scowl.
In addition to the Water-type abilities it had as Poliwag, and Poliwhirl, Poliwrath has now gained the powers of a Fighting-type-type. It can swim for vast distances without tiring, and with its increased arm, and leg strength it also has the ability to run on the surface of water for a short amount of time. Like Machop, Poliwrath's muscles never grow fatigued, however much it exercises.
With its newly-gained fighting abilities, Poliwrath is more aggressive than its pre-evolutions, and is more willing to pick fights with others.
Poliwrath, despite being excellent swimmers, usually live on dry land near the water's edge.
(Unconfirmed!)
Poliwrath seems to be based on some amphibians that can stay as a tadpole their whole life. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
Poliwrath's name appears to be a combination of "polliwog", and "wrath", meaning "anger."
