Whiscash (Japanese: ナマズン Namazun) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves from Barboach starting at level 30.

Biology

Whiscash is a dark blue, catfish-like Pokémon with a yellow underbelly. It has a cavernous mouth with light blue lips that have short, thin whiskers growing from the lower lips. Long, yellow barbels grow from its cheeks, and there is a yellow marking on its forehead that resembles a W. The light blue dorsal fin has a pattern of three spots arranged in a triangle, while its horizontal tail fin lacks spots. Its pectoral fins and belly fins match its main body color. It causes earthquakes that can extend for over three miles, and can predict when natural earthquakes will occur. It lives at the bottom of ponds and swamps, and is territorial over them. It eats anything that is alive, and has been shown in the anime to eat inanimate objects as well.

Major appearances

Nero

A Whiscash named Nero appeared in Whiscash and Ash.

Other

A Whiscash also appeared in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate! where he assigned Team Go-Getters and Team Meanies to rescue Pichu's brother, Pikachu.

Whiscash was the third Pokémon that Juan used for the second half of the Gym battle in Eight Ain't Enough!. The Whiskers Pokémon was defeated by Ash's Swellow.

Another Whiscash was to appear in another episode called AG101 (unaired) under the ownership of Chōta. However, the episode never aired due to the fact that it involved earthquakes which Japan had recently suffered.

Minor appearances

A Whiscash was owned by a family of traveling circus performers in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.

A Whiscash also appeared in One Big Happiny Family! in Jessie's fantasy.

Another Whiscash also appeared in Strategy Begins at Home!

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
AG075 Whiscash May's Pokédex Whiscash, the Whiskers Pokémon. Whiscash has strong territorial instincts and goes berserk when any enemy approaches, creating earthquakes.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In Pokémon Adventures, both Wallace and Mr. Briney each own Whiscash. Mr. Briney used his to predict the massive, constant earthquakes to determine when he could go fishing, among other reasons. Wallace's Whiscash, Phillipe, is primarily used for Contests. Ruby was amazed at how different the two were despite being the same species.

Trivia

  • The microgame "Electric Groove Fish" in WarioWare, Inc. Mega Microgame$ for Game Boy Advance shows a fish similarly shaped to Whiscash, complete with a "W" on its forehead.

Origin

Whiscash is based on Namazu, a catfish in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes.

Name origin

Whiscash may be a combination of whisker and mustache, referring to the long whiskers it has. Cash may also be a contraction of catfish.

Namazun is derived from 鯰 Namazu (or 大鯰 Ōnamazu), a catfish in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes. 鯰 namazu also means catfish.
