How to play the Poliwag line

Poliwag’s line is the Swimmer, and it changes type on the way up: Poliwrath is Water and Fighting. Its passive, Swift Swim, gives +10% HP and +20% projectile speed, +30% speed and +20% damage in rain, and as Poliwrath +15% physical damage. The kit is Bubble Beam (Water), Hypnosis (Psychic), Circle Throw and Submission (Fighting). The Ultimate is a spiral at every stage: Hypnotic Spiral puts everyone within 13 m to sleep, Poliwhirl’s Spiral Whirl drags enemies in for 2 s, and Poliwrath’s Dynamic Tide adds three Dynamic Punches on the strongest enemies. The game’s code puts the evolutions at about level 30 and level 42. The challenge is to put 4,000 Pokémon to sleep. Good for players who like rainy maps and close fights.
