Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Ability: Frog Song
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.
Attack: Doubleslap (40×)
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.
