Flip a number of coins equal to the amount of Water Energy attached to Poliwrath. This attack does 40 damage plus 10 more damage for each heads.

Where it came from
The Poliwrath card from the Expedition Base Set was released in 2002 as part of the first expansion in the e-Card Series for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant shift in design, introducing the e-Reader technology which allowed players to scan the dot-code strips on the sides of the cards to unlock Pokédex entries, mini-games, and animations on the Game Boy Advance.
The illustration for this particular card was rendered by artist Naoyo Kimura, who opted for a dynamic, sweeping composition that emphasizes the character's muscular physique and aquatic environment. At the time of its release, the Expedition set was noted by collectors for its departure from the classic Wizards of the Coast art style, favoring a more modern, clean aesthetic that helped define the early transition into the second generation of card mechanics.
