The Poker Faces (also known as The Ultimate Weapons) are two Bristles that Mario fights in the Glitz Pit in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Their name is derived from "poker face," when a person's face does not indicate what kind of cards they have. It is also a pun on "poke," referencing their spiked appearance.
The Poker Faces are ranked 8th in the Glitz Pit.

| Tattle | That's a Bristle. ...Totally covered in spikes. They're so prickly! Max HP is 2, Attack is 1, and Defense is 4. AND they're impervious to fire. Even trying to get close enough to whack it with a hammer is dangerous! Seriously, its spikes will totally pop out! So, since you can't jump on it or use your hammer... you'd better use an item! | |||||||
