Whenever Politoed's attack damages the Defending Pokémon (after applying Weakness and Resistance), if there are more than 3 Poliwags, Poliwhirls, Poliwraths, and/or Politoeds in play (including your opponent's), that attack does 40 more damage (no matter how many heads you get). This power stops working while Politoed is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.

Release information

This card was included in the Neo Discovery expansion as both a Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese Crossing the Ruins... expansion as a Holofoil card.

The effect of the Frog Song Pokémon Power is translated incorrectly. The condition to trigger the effect of Frog Song on the Japanese card is accurately translated as "if there are 3 or more...", not "if there are more than 3...".
