Barboach Pokédex Entries

Ruby:BARBOACH’s sensitive whiskers serve as a superb radar system. This POKéMON hides in mud, leaving only its two whiskers exposed while it waits for prey to come along.
Sapphire:BARBOACH’s body is covered with a slimy film. If a foe grabs it, this POKéMON just slips out of the enemy’s grip. This POKéMON grows weak if the slimy coating dries up.
FireRed, LeafGreen:It probes muddy riverbeds with its two long whiskers. A slimy film protects its body.
Emerald:Its body is covered with a slimy film. The film acts as a barrier to prevent germs in muddy water from entering the BARBOACH’s body.
Diamond:It coats its entire body with a slimy fluid so it can squirm and slip away if grabbed.
Pearl:Its whiskers make a superb radar. They are used to locate prey, even in the murkiest of water.
Platinum:Its slimy body is hard to grasp. In one region, it is said to have been born from hardened mud.
HeartGold, SoulSilver:BARBOACH uses its whiskers to taste things just as a person uses his or her tongue to taste things.
Black, White, Black 2, White 2:Its slimy body is hard to grasp. In one region, it is said to have been born from hardened mud.

Ultra Sun:Its entire body is gooey. When pecked at by bird Pokémon, it slips and slides its way to freedom.
Ultra Moon:Its whiskers are filled with nerves. They can sense smells and flavors just as a person’s nose or tongue would.
