Flavor Text

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.

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.

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.

Fire Red/Leaf Green It probes muddy riverbeds with its two long whiskers. A slimy film protects its body.

Diamond It coats its entire body with a slimy fluid so it can squirm and slip away if grabbed.

Pearl Its whiskers make a superb radar. They are used to locate prey, even in the murkiest of water.
