WhiscashMysterious Treasures #40 Pokémon Card

Whiscash, the Whiskers Pokémon, is a dual Water/Ground-type introduced in Generation III. It evolves from Barboach starting at Level 30. This robust Pokémon is known for its large whiskers, which it uses as highly sensitive antennae to detect vibrations in the water and the ground, allowing it to navigate murky environments and sense prey or danger. Whiscash typically inhabits freshwater lakes and rivers, preferring deep, muddy areas where it can camouflage itself effectively. Its diet primarily consists of smaller aquatic Pokémon and insects. In the Pokémon games, Whiscash is often encountered as a powerful opponent due to its unique typing, which grants it an immunity to Electric-type attacks. In the anime, Whiscash has made several notable appearances, often depicted as a territorial and formidable force of nature, particularly in episodes featuring fishing or aquatic environments. Its design, reminiscent of a catfish, gives it a distinct and memorable appearance among Water-type Pokémon. Whiscash’s cultural significance stems from its portrayal as a wise and somewhat ancient creature, often guarding sacred or important bodies of water, embodying the deep connection between Pokémon and their natural habitats.
