'''Whiscash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナマズン''' ''Namazun'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Barboach}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Whiscash is a dark blue, catfish-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a yellow underbelly. It has a cavernous mouth with light blue lips that have short, thin whiskers growing from the lower lips. Long, yellow barbels grow from its cheeks, and there is a yellow marking on its forehead that resembles a W. The light blue dorsal fin has a pattern of three spots arranged in a triangle, while its horizontal tail fin lacks spots. Its pectoral fins and belly fins match its main body color.
Whiscash are dark blue fish that are bulky in physique. They have huge cavernous mouths and long barbels that usually act as feelers. These barbels are even able to be manipulated like tentacles. They also have a marking on their foreheads that resemble a "W". They also possess a dorsal fin that, unlike other fish, is horizontal, much like a sea mammal's tail fluke.
====Gender differences====
None.


====Special abilities====
Whiscash uses its caudal fin to cause earthquakes that can extend for over three miles by hitting the bottom of swamp beds. Whiscash can predict when natural earthquakes will occur. It also uses these massive earthquakes to drive away any foes that come near it, going on rampages in the process. This behavior, along with sightings of Whiscash's leaping from lakes, has caused people to mistaken it for starting earthquakes. It lives in a nest {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|at the bottom of ponds and swamps,}} and is territorial over them. Whiscash tends to wait silently for prey to come to it. This gluttonous fish will eat anything that is alive, sometimes whole, and has been shown [[AG075|in the anime]] to eat inanimate objects as well. Whiscash also has a diet of consuming mud. Whiscash has poor eyesight, so it has to use its whiskers to detect a prey's vibration.
Much like other ground types, they have the ability to cause their own earthquakes in addition to predicting real ones.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Whiscash are usually calm fish unless confronted by anything they preceive as a threat. In case this happens, Whiscash may cause their own earthquakes as well as struggle if they are caught on a fishing line.
Whiscash evolves from {{p|Barboach}}.


As shown in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] as well as the anime, it is not uncommon for a Whiscash to swallow [[Poké Ball]]s. This could quite possibly be its way of avoiding capture.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
===Habitat===
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
They tend to inhabit the murky depths of placid lakes and slow moving river systems.

Whiscash was the third Pokémon that [[Juan]] used for the second half of the [[Gym]] battle in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough!]]''. The Whiskers Pokémon was defeated by [[Ash's Swellow]].

It was to also appear in another episode called ''[[AG101 (unaired)|Shaking Island Battle!! {{tt|Dojoach|Barboach}} VS {{tt|Namazun|Whiscash}}!!]]''.  However, this episode was never aired due to the fact that it involved earthquakes which Japan had recently suffered.
 
==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], both [[Wallace]] and [[Mr. Briney]] own Whiscash. Mr. Briney used his to predict the massive, constant earthquakes to determine when he could go fishing, among other reasons, while Wallace's Whiscash, Phillipe, was primarily used for contest purposes. Ruby compared the two at one point and was amazed at the differences between the two.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Whiscash and its pre-evolved form are the only {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon who are not in the {{egg|Water 1}} [[Egg Group]].
** They are also the only Ground-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}.
===Origin===
===Origin===
Whiscash is based on ''{{wp|Namazu (Japanese mythology)|Namazu}}'', a {{wp|catfish}} in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes.
Whiscash is based on {{wp|Namazu (Japanese mythology)|Namazu}}, a {{wp|catfish}} in {{wp|Japanese mythology}} that causes earthquakes (also note Whiscash's Japanese name "Namazun"). Its move {{m|Future Sight}} and ability {{a|Anticipation}} also alludes to this myth, which possibly originated from the observation that catfish are capable of predicting earthquakes and become agitated a few hours before their occurrence. Namazu is sometimes depicted as a dragon-serpent, which may explain why it can learn the move {{m|Dragon Dance}}. The yellow zigzag on Whiscash's head is similar to a {{wp|crown}}.
 
Since its pre-evolved form appears to be based on a {{wp|loach}}, it may also draw inspiration from {{wp|loach catfish}}. Whiscash could also be based on {{wp|Electric catfish}} due to being able to learn the move {{m|Spark}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Whiscash's name is based on ''whisker'', referring to the long whiskers it has; the ''-cash'' part of its name is presumably an abbreviation of the word '''ca'''tfi'''sh'''. Its Japanese name is based on 鯰 ''Namazu'', a catfish in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes. 鯰 ''namazu'' is also  Japanese for catfish.
Whiscash may be a combination of ''whisker'', ''mustache'', and possibly ''catfish''. The first letter of its English name may also come from the "W" shaped symbol on its head.
 
Namazun may be derived from  鯰 ''namazu'' (catfish) or 大鯰 ''Ōnamazu'', a {{wp|catfish}} in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes.
