Pokédex descriptions

Shield

This Pokémon’s sweat is a slimy mucus. When captured, Poliwhirl can slither from its enemies’ grasp and escape.

Sword

Staring at the swirl on its belly causes drowsiness. This trait of Poliwhirl’s has been used in place of lullabies to get children to go to sleep.

Lets Go Eevee

Under attack, it uses its belly spiral to put the foe to sleep. It then makes its escape.
