Flavor Text |

| Sun | They gather on moonlit nights to form a large chorus. Their cries sound angry and not at all pleasant, but they are certainly distinctive. | |
| Moon | It’s the leader of Poliwag and Poliwhirl. When Politoed roars, they all cower in fear. | |
| Ultra Sun | Although its cries sound like screams, a composer created a beautiful ballad that was influenced by the sounds. | |
| Ultra Moon | The longer and more luxurious the curled hair on its head, the greater the number of Poliwag and Poliwhirl that will obey it. | |
