Barboach (Japanese: ドジョッチ, HepburnDojotchi) is a Water/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Barboach is a blue and gray loach-like Pokémon with a whiskery blue face and three fins. All of its fins are uchiwa fan-shaped (the dorsal, pelvic, anal and tail fins), while only the dorsal, pelvic and anal fins have black spots on them. All across it's side there is a zigzag black line. Barboach does not have any visible pectoral fins though.

Behavior[]

Barboach dwell in muddy water, burying themselves in the muck.Their bodies are covered in a slippery mucus. that prevents bacteria from infecting their vulnerable skin. Additionally, it makes it difficult for foes to grasp them, especially important because Barboach often live in shallow water where they can easily be spotted by aerial predators. If this film dries, they will become weak and lethargic.Barboach are usually submerged in mud, leaving only their whiskers poking out. Their whiskers are extremely sensitive, acting like radars to help them navigate murky waters. The barbs can also sense passing prey, and can detect smell and taste at the same resolution as the human tongue. Barboach are not very picky eaters and will consume nearly anything they find. They can be seen scavenging the remains of the meals of other Pokémon or eating rotting plant material if food is scarce.

Natural Abilities[]

Barboach is able to use its sensitive whiskers to detect prey. It covers its body in slimy fluid so it's harder for predators to grasp.

Evolution[]

Barboach evolves into Whiscash at level 30.
