What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may choose a Water Pokémon on your Bench and switch it with your Active Pokémon. This power can't be used if Politoed is affected by a Special Condition.
Flip a coin for each Water Pokémon you have in play. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads.
Whenever three or more of these get together, they sing in a loud voice that sounds like bellowing.

Where it came from
Released in the 2010 HS—Unleashed expansion, this Politoed card represents the second generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game's HeartGold & SoulSilver series. The set was designed to integrate the mechanics and aesthetic of the Johto region games, specifically focusing on Pokémon that had evolved or been featured prominently in the Nintendo DS remakes.
The artwork was illustrated by Kent Kanetsuna, who utilized a clean, digital style typical of the era to emphasize the creature's energetic, frog-like posture. As a Holo Rare, the card features a distinctive vertical holofoil pattern across the illustration, a hallmark of the TCG design language during the late 2000s that aimed to make stage-two evolutions feel visually significant to players and collectors alike.
