Whiscash (ナマズン) is the 128th Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. It is a Water/Ground-Type, and it is known as the Whiskers Pokémon.

Whiscash's Ability when it was introduced in Generation III is Oblivious. This Ability prevents it from becoming Infatuated with an opposing Pokémon of the opposite gender. Its second Ability was introduced in Generation IV, the Anticipation Ability, which alerts itself to when the opponent knows an attack that will be Super-Effective against it, or if the foe knows one of the four One-Hit KO moves. A third Ability is available to Whiscash from the Dream World, the Hydration Ability. This Ability heals all Status problems when it is raining.

Barboach can evolve into Whiscash once it reaches Level 30.

Whiscash is listed in the Water 2 Egg Group, and its Egg takes approximately 5,120 Steps to hatch. It takes Whiscash One Million Experience Points to reach Level 100.

[edit] Pokémon Information

[edit] Competitive Battling

Whiscash finds itself in the Never-Utilized and Rarely-Utilized Tiers of Competitive Battling. Its Hidden Ability Hydration gives it more longevity with Rain Dance support from either a teammate or itself, especially combined with Rest. Additionally, it can use Dragon Dance to boost both its Attack and Speed to dangerous levels.

Without Statistic boosts, Whiscash still has bulk to deal with, but can be dealt with relatively easily by using a Grass-Type attack, which it takes 4 times the damage from. Also, eliminating the rain with another weather condition or using a Pokémon with the Cloud Nine Ability will take its Hidden Ability out of play.
