This whiskered fish Pokémon is known for its muddy habitat, often found burrowing in the soft riverbeds and lake bottoms where it feeds on microorganisms. Its distinctive barbels act as highly sensitive sensory organs, allowing it to navigate murky waters and detect prey even in low visibility. Barboach evolves into Whiscash, a larger and more formidable Water/Ground type, at level 30. In the Pokémon games, Barboach is often encountered early on, providing players with a useful dual-type Pokémon that boasts resistances to Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel, while being immune to Electric-type moves. Its Ground typing, however, makes it doubly weak to Grass-type attacks. In the anime, Barboach has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its playful nature and its ability to cause minor tremors. Its simple yet endearing design has made it a memorable, albeit not central, figure in the Pokémon universe, representing the diverse aquatic life found in the Pokémon world.
