| ===Physiology===
| | Whiscash is a dark blue, fish Pokémon 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. It causes earthquakes that can extend for over three miles, and can predict when natural earthquakes will occur. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|at the bottom of ponds and swamps,}} and is territorial over them. It eats anything that is alive, and has been shown [[AG075|in the anime]] to eat inanimate objects as well. |
| 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 tail fin that, unlike other fish, is horizontal, much like a sea mammal's tail fluke. The dorsal fin has a pattern of three spots arranged in a triangle. As shown in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', they have large tongues. | |

| ===Special abilities===
| |
| Much like other Ground-type Pokémon, they have the ability to cause their own earthquakes in addition to predicting real ones.
| |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| Whiscash are usually calm fish unless confronted by anything they perceive 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.
| |
| | |
| 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.
