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.

FireRed +2: It probes muddy riverbeds with its two long whiskers. A slimy film protects its body.

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

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

HeartGold / SoulSilver: BARBOACH uses its whiskers to taste things just as a person uses his or her tongue to taste things.

Moon: Its slippery body is hard to grasp, so much so that there are festivals where people compete to see how many they can catch barehanded.
