Politoed (yes, the politoed is named Politoed) is basically Dardanne's dad

Politoed was originally Dardanne's father's ace pokémon.

When Dardanne ran away from home as a teenager and was enrolled in Plasma, Politoed followed him to make sure he was safe and to keep an eye on him. Dardanne became his trainer because Politoed refused to leave him alone.

Dardanne is later selected to accompany N on his journey throught out Unova to gather the badges and defy the league. Dardanne keeps old Politoed out of his pokéball most of the day, following N's ideals fervently. Politoed might look chill and laid-back, but his tongue is sharp and N is unfortunately the only one who can understand it.

Politoed is also very aware of what's going on in Team Plasma, having already quite a lot of prior experiences with abusive trainers (Dardanne's father is an ex-gym leader for a reason after all). As Politoed is unable to drive Dardanne away from what is essentially a cult, he decides to stick by him and do his best to protect him whenever he can.
