Discovering Poliwhirl's Habitat

Poliwhirl is a rare spawn in the rivers and ponds of east and south-east Kitakami. You're much more likely to find a Poliwag in the same area, which you can evolve into a Poliwhirl just by leveling it up to 25. To improve your chances of encountering Poliwhirl, consider cooking up a sandwich with a water Pokémon encounter power.

Evolving Poliwhirl into Poliwrath

Transforming Poliwhirl into Poliwrath is straightforward; all you need is a Water Stone. You can purchase one from Delibird Presents once you’ve earned three gym badges. This makes the evolution process both easy and accessible!

Evolving Poliwhirl into Politoed

If you want Poliwrath’s green sibling, you’ll need to take a few more steps. Poliwhirl evolves into Politoed when traded while holding a King’s Rock. These items can be found on the overworld or as tera raid rewards, so keep an eye out during your travels!

If you don’t have a trustworthy friend to trade with, consider using Pokémon Scarlet and Violet trade codes to connect with someone looking for the same evolution.

Evolving Poliwhirl in Pokémon Go

In Pokémon Go, Poliwhirl evolves into Poliwrath with 100 Poliwag candies. It’s that simple! To achieve a Politoed, you will also need 100 Poliwag candies and a King’s Rock.
