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
The Politoed card was released in 2001 as part of the Neo Discovery expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was the second in the Neo series, which introduced the Generation II Pokémon from the Johto region to the card game, building on the success of the original base sets while expanding the game's mechanics.
The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary illustrator for the franchise. His design reflects the whimsical nature of Politoed, emphasizing its distinct, crown-like swirl and vibrant coloration. As a holo-rare card from the early Neo era, it is highly regarded by collectors for its aesthetic ties to the transition between the original 151 Pokémon and the influx of new creatures.
