Poliwrath in Polished Crystal

Water / Fighting — where to catch it, what it learns, and how it differs from the official games.

Compared with the official games

Stats Defense 95 → 100 (total 510 → 515)

Compared against present-day official data. The Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived after Pokémon Crystal, so a difference here can belong to the series rather than to this hack.
