How to Evolve Poliwhirl

In the "Pokemon" games, the Poliwhirl character has the ability to wash foes away with torrents of water or put them to sleep with mind-boggling psychic moves. After gaining enough levels, most Pokemon characters evolve into a single new form. Poliwhirl is somewhat different, since it has the ability to evolve into two different Pokemon. To evolve Poliwhirl into a Poliwrath, you need only give it a special evolutionary stone. To get a Politoed instead, you need to trade Poliwrath while it holds an item called King's Rock.

Instructions

- 1
  Obtain a Water Stone if you want to evolve Poliwhirl into Poliwrath. If you're playing "Pokemon Black" or "Pokemon White," you can get a Water Stone in Castelia City. Talk to the scientist there and answer "Panpour" when he asks you a question. He gives you a Water Stone.

  Select "Water Stone" from the inventory and give it to Poliwhirl to hold. As soon as you do this, Poliwhirl turns into Poliwrath.
- 3
  Get a King's Rock if you want to evolve Poliwhirl into Politoed. In "Pokemon White" and "Pokemon Black," find a King's Rock on Route 13. Some wild Poliwhirls are already holding a King's Rock when you catch them, but this is somewhat rare.
- 4
  Go to a Pokemon Center to trade the Poliwhirl while it holds a King's Rock to a friend who also has a "Pokemon" game. During the trade, Poliwhirl turns into Politoed. Have your friend trade Politoed back to you when the evolution completes.
