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. |
X | It coats its entire body with a slimy fluid so it can squirm and slip away if grabbed. |

Violet | It probes muddy riverbeds with its two long whiskers. A slimy film protects its body. |
