| [[File:Pokemon 060Poliwag.png|left]] Poliwag are very common in Crystal, appearing at night in several overworld routes. Poliwag isn't too impressive by itself, but if you evolve it into a {{bp|Poliwhirl}} you can then use a Water Stone or trade it with a King's Rock to get a powerful {{bp|Poliwrath}} or {{bp|Politoed}}. But don't evolve it too early: Each of those forms can learn two exclusive moves, but none of them are anywhere near as good as the Hydro Pump that Poliwag and Poliwhirl would learn if you didn't evolve them until much later. | | [[File:Pokemon 060Poliwag.png|left]] Poliwag are very common in Crystal, appearing at night in several overworld routes.

Poliwag and its evolutions are also very helpful in the fact that they can learn HMs, Surf, Whirlpool, Waterfall and also Strength with Poliwrath | |||
| [[File:Pokemon 010Caterpie.png|right]] This Bug Pokémon reaches its highest form, Bug/Flying {{bp|Butterfree}}, at level 10. The speedy evolution is nice, and Butterfree is useful for a while after it learns Confusion at level 10. Unfortunately, its awkward mix of types and lack of other good early moves makes it a poor long-term choice. | | [[File:Pokemon 010Caterpie.png|right]] This Bug Pokémon reaches its highest form, Bug/Flying {{bp|Butterfree}}, at level 10.
