Pokédex Entries19
English
Poliwag - Tadpole Pokémon
POLIWAG has a very thin skin. It is possible to see the POKéMON's spiral innards right through the skin. Despite its thinness, however, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.
French
Ptitard - Pokémon Têtard
PTITARD a une peau très fine. On peut même voir les entrailles en spirale de ce POKéMON à travers sa peau. Malgré sa finesse, cette peau est aussi très élastique. Même les crocs les plus acérés rebondissent dessus.
German
Quapsel - Kaulquappe
QUAPSEL hat eine sehr dünne Haut. Durch sie hindurch kann man sogar sein spiralförmiges Inneres sehen. Obwohl seine Haut so dünn ist, ist sie sehr elastisch. Selbst scharfe Reiß- zähne können sie nicht durchdringen.
Spanish
Poliwag - Pokémon Renacuajo
POLIWAG tiene una piel muy fina. Tanto que es posible entrever a través de la misma las vísceras en espiral que tiene. La piel, aunque fina, tiene la ventaja de ser flexible y hacer rebotar más de un zarpazo.
Italian
Poliwag - Pokémon Girino
POLIWAG ha una pelle molto sottile, attraverso cui è possibile intravedere i suoi organi interni spiraliformi. Nonostante il suo esiguo spessore, la pelle è molto elastica. Anche le zanne più affilate non riescono a lacerarla.
Japanese
