Is Poliwhirl worth hunting?
Among the 24 Pokémon in the level 30 hunt, Poliwhirl ranks 10th for loot per kill — 3% 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.
70% of all loot comes from a single item: Water Stone. If its price changes in game, this hunt's income changes with it.
The rare drop worth waiting for is Water Stone (5,000 at the NPC), at 0.64% chance — on average one every 156 kills.
For XP it ranks 9 of 24 at this level — 548 per kill.
