Its attacks

Sudden Growth

Attach any number of basic Energy cards from your hand to Politoed.

Frog Hop

30+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage.

Energy Splash

70

Move 2 Water Energy cards attached to Politoed to 1 or 2 of your Benched Pokémon. (You may put both on the same Pokémon or 1 each on 2 different Pokémon.) If you have no Benched Pokémon, ignore this effect.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    110 HP. Only 1 cards in Skyridge carry more.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,726 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Poliwhirl to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,726 tournament lists we have read, 394 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Skyridge landed here on 12 May 2003.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 10 Politoed cards on one page, priciest first.
