G	Because it is in ept at walking on its newly grown legs, it always swims around in water.
US	Despite the danger, it wants to come up on land. So it does its best to waddle along, but when an enemy finds it, it rushes back to the water.
SW	For Poliwag, swimming is easier than walking. The swirl pattern on its belly is actually part of the Pokémon’s innards showing through the skin.
SH	In rivers with fast-flowing water, this Pokémon will cling to a rock by using its thick lips, which act like a suction cup.
E	It is possible to see this POKéMON’s spiral innards right through its thin skin. However, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.
B R	Its newly grown legs prevent it from running. It appears to prefer swimming than trying to stand.
LG	Its newly grown legs prevent it from walking well. It appears to prefer swimming over walking.
D P PL B B2 W W2	Its skin is so thin, its internal organs are visible. It has trouble walking on its newly grown feet.
FR X	Its slick black skin is thin and damp. A part of its internal organs can be seen through the skin as a spiral pattern.
M	It’s still not very good at walking. Its Trainers should train this Pokémon to walk every day.
