Pokédex entries

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

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