Pokédex Entries

Sword

"At nightfall, these Pokémon appear on the shores of lakes. They announce their territorial claims by letting out cries that sound like shouting."

Shield

"The cry of a male is louder than that of a female. Male Politoed with deep, menacing voices find more popularity with the opposite gender."
