What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

YellowUnder attack, it uses its belly spiral to put the foe to sleep. It then makes its escape.
GoldThe swirl on its belly subtly un­ dulates. Staring at it may gradual­ ly cause drowsi­ ness.
Silver / SoulSilverThe skin on most of its body is moist. However, the skin on its belly spiral feels smooth.
CrystalThough it is skilled at walk­ ing, it prefers to live underwater where there is less danger.
Ruby / SapphireThe surface of POLIWHIRL’s body is always wet and slick with an oily fluid. Because of this greasy covering, it can easily slip and slide out of the clutches of any enemy in battle.
EmeraldIts body surface is always wet and slick with an oily fluid. Because of this greasy covering, it can easily slip and slide out of the clutches of any enemy in battle.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
