It hurts to see Poliwrath lack any real wrath.

It needs to get Drain Punch and Aqua Jet. Then at least Belly Drum sets can exist.

Or No Guard so it can have a gimmicky Hypnosis/Dynamic Punch set.

A stat realignment would do wonders for both Poliwrath and Politoed. Right now they're both far too average stat wise for either to really shine, with the both of them hardly having any inclination to physical or special.
Doesn't help that Poliwrath lacks a good Fighting type stab too.

What is even the POINT of Politoed anyway? Like, why did they make it? Before it had drizzle, I can't think of any reason for it to have existed.

I believe there was a cut sprite in the Red/Green/Blue game files of a Poliwrath wearing a crown, or King's Rock as it would later be called. Politoed was probably one of the unfinished Gen 1 mons that was later made for Gen 2.
Besides, a tadpoles final evolution being a frog makes sense I suppose.

It felt like a scrapped idea for what Pilowag could have evolved into.
It does seem weird to me how it has a completely different design scheme than the rest of it's family, totally different body shape, color and it's swirl is a tail suddenly.

I could see it getting Liquidation as a tutor move or something, but that doesn't actually do anything for it.

No it didn't. It moved up to NU due to usage. Stop talking about stuff that you clearly know nothing about.
