Barboach (Japanese: ドジョッチ Dojotchi) is a Water/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
Biology
Barboach is able to use its sensitive whiskers to detect prey. It covers its body in slimy fluid so it's harder to for predators to grasp.
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.
Evolution
Barboach evolves into Whiscash at level 30.

Trivia

- Although, they make look more like the false eel called as 'bichir'. Like loaches, bichirs have barbels and relies on smell replacing its poor eyesight.

Barboach is a combination of barb (referring to the barbs around its mouth) or barbel and loach.
