Pokédex descriptions

Shield

In rivers with fast-flowing water, this Pokémon will cling to a rock by using its thick lips, which act like a suction cup.

Sword

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.

Lets Go Eevee

The direction of the spiral on the belly differs by area. It is more adept at swimming than walking.
