Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Sword | This Pokémon has a jaw that’s as sharp as a spear and as strong as steel. Apparently Barraskewda’s flesh is surprisingly tasty, too. |
| Shield | It spins its tail fins to propel itself, surging forward at speeds of over 100 knots before ramming prey and spearing into them. |
| Scarlet | It spins its tail fins to leap from the water, then viciously bites down on Wingull flying close to the water’s surface. |
| Violet | It swims at speeds of over 100 knots and battles fiercely with pods of Finizen over prey. |
