CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Barboach searches river mud with whiskers capable of sensing smells and tastes. A thin, slippery layer protects its body and lets it escape a bird's talons. It also makes Barboach very difficult for humans to grasp, prompting occasional catching contests. The Pokédex reports a legend that it was born from mud but mainly describes an inhabitant well adapted to murky bottoms.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Ultra Moon credits Barboach's whiskers with detecting tastes and smells. Pokémon Ultra Sun describes its slimy skin letting it slip from a predator's talons. The same muddy bottoms where it seeks food therefore also offer a means of escape.
