07Why Collectors Want It

Final evolution of the Poliwag line — its 1999 Base Set holo is a vintage chase.
Required for any complete Poliwrath master set across eras.
Collectors of the Unbroken Bonds set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Niche

Stage 2 Poliwrath with 150 HP; top attack near 90 damage — playable in casual or rogue lists, not a competitive staple.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Knuckle Punch Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 50 damage

Swirly Rush Cost: Water + Colorless + Colorless · 90+ damage

If Poliwag and Poliwhirl are on your Bench, this attack does 90 more damage.

Weakness: Grass ×2
Retreat cost: 3

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
