Poliwag questions

Is Poliwag a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Poliwag joins the collection from the Kanto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Poliwag in PokéSurvivor?

Poliwag is Water. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Poliwag be shiny?

Yes. A wild Poliwag is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Poliwag a rift legendary?

No. Poliwag can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
