Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | Makes its home in swamps with murky water. The poor visibility hides this Pokémon from predators, and the slime on its body makes grasping it difficult. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| X | It coats its entire body with a slimy fluid so it can squirm and slip away if grabbed. |
| Y | Its whiskers make a superb radar. They are used to locate prey, even in the murkiest of water. |
| OmegaRuby | 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. |
| AlphaSapphire | 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. |
| Sun | Its two whiskers provide a sensitive radar. Even in muddy waters, it can detect its prey’s location. |
| Moon | Its slippery body is hard to grasp, so much so that there are festivals where people compete to see how many they can catch barehanded. |
| UltraSun | Its entire body is gooey. When pecked at by bird Pokémon, it slips and slides its way to freedom. |
| UltraMoon | Its whiskers are filled with nerves. They can sense smells and flavors just as a person’s nose or tongue would. |
| Sword | Its slimy body is hard to grasp. In one region, it is said to have been born from hardened mud. |
| Shield | It probes muddy riverbeds with its two long whiskers. A slimy film protects its body. |
