Now that Poliwrath has evolved from Poliwhirl, it gains the fighting sub-type, which toughens it up quite a bit, and changes its whole personality, now when it swims it now longer swims like a tadpole, but more like a human.

And this pokémon can stay longer on land than any of its pre-evolved forms, since it constantly works out and trains, its own sweat keeps it moist and slimey. Poliwrath is still think skinned in areas and you can still see it's large intestines through its stomach.
