Is Poliwag worth hunting?
Among the 15 Pokémon in the level 1 hunt, Poliwag ranks 8th for loot per kill — 0% above the level's median.
Its loot-to-XP ratio sits close to the level median — neither a money hunt nor a pure XP hunt, it serves both at a similar pace.
65% of all loot comes from a single item: Water Pendant. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Strange Thing (147 at the NPC), at 0.00% chance — on average one every 100,000 kills.
For XP it ranks 7 of 15 at this level — 8 per kill.
