Flavor Text
Its newly grown legs prevent it from running. It prefers swimming to standing.
The direction of the spiral on the belly differs by area. It is more adept at swimming than walking.
Its slick black skin is thin and damp. A part of its internal organs can be seen through the skin as a spiral pattern.
Because it is inept at walking on its newly grown legs, it always swims around in water.

The swirl on its belly is its insides showing through the skin. It looks clearer after it eats.
Poliwag has a very thin skin. It is possible to see the Pokémon's spiral innards right through the skin. Despite its thinness, however, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.
