What it does
Whenever Politoed's attack damages the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), if there are more than 3 Poliwags, Poliwhirls, Poliwraths, and/or Politoeds in play (including your opponent's), that attack does 40 more damage (no matter how many heads you get). This power stops working while Politoed is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Flip 2 coins. This attack does 40 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 year 2000 as part of the Neo Discovery expansion, this card represents the second generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the initial success of the Base Set, the Neo series introduced Pokémon from the Johto region, expanding the roster for players and collectors who were eager to see the evolution of the game's mechanics and aesthetic.
The card features Politoed, a branched evolution of Poliwhirl, illustrated by the artist Atsuko Nishida. Nishida, a pivotal figure in the franchise's visual identity, utilized a distinct, soft-lined art style that emphasizes the character's whimsical and amphibian nature. At the time of its release, the card was well-regarded for its contribution to the growing Water-type arsenal and remains a nostalgic staple for collectors of the late nineties and early two-thousands era of the game.
