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 ''[[wp:Namazu (Japanese mythology)|Namazu]]'', a [[wp:catfish|catfish]] in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes. | 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'''.

Apparantly in the games ''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl'' there is a small glitch, being that a trainer with the name of Swimmer Vincent on Route 220 has a male Whiscash at Lv. 29 even though the in-game mechanics don't allow for Barboach to evolve until Lv. 30 unless the player uses a cheating device. | Apparantly in the games ''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl'' there is a small glitch, being that a trainer with the name of Swimmer Vincent on Route 220 has a male Whiscash at Lv. 29 even though the in-game mechanics don't allow for Barboach to evolve until Lv. 30 unless the player uses a cheating device. | ||
