As a Pokémon expert, I can tell you that the effectiveness of a Pokémon's moves in battles is determined by the type of moves it can use and the types of the opposing Pokémon. Poliwrath, being a Water/Fighting type Pokémon, has a unique combination of move types that can be super effective against certain types of Pokémon.

In the context of Pokémon battles, "super effective" refers to a move that deals additional damage due to type advantages. Poliwrath's Water-type moves are super effective against Fire, Ground, and Rock types. Its Fighting-type moves are super effective against Normal, Ice, Rock, and Dark types. When you combine these type advantages, Poliwrath can be particularly effective against Pokémon that are weak to both Water and Fighting types.

Here's a breakdown of the types Poliwrath is super effective against:


1. Fire types (Water moves)

2. Ground types (Water moves)

3. Rock types (Both Water and Fighting moves)

4. Normal types (Fighting moves)

5. Ice types (Fighting moves)

6. Dark types (Fighting moves)

Keep in mind that the effectiveness can change with the introduction of new Pokémon and moves in future games, but this is a general guideline based on the established type matchups in the Pokémon series.
