Whiscash

() is a /-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. 
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Whiscash appears to be a large dark blue-skinned catfish. It has a yellow mark resembling the letter "W" on its forehead, and a pair of light yellow whiskers on both sides of its face. It has a yellow underbelly and a light blue mouth. Its tail and dorsal fin are the same color as its mouth, and the latter has 3 black spots on it. 
===Behavior===
Whiscash lives in the swamp, where it rests on the murky bottom waiting for food to float by. Whiscash are highly territorial, often claiming entire ponds as their own. They are nocturnal, burying into the mud to sleep during the day. At night, they emerge to eat whatever they can find, waiting patiently at the bottoms of their ponds; as long as it is alive, Whiscash will swallow it whole (they will sometimes even consume inanimate objects), along with a healthy gulp of muck from beneath as well. They make their nests by carving out shallow bowls in mud. Whiscash have poor eyesight and instead use their highly sensitive whiskers to navigate their murky surroundings. They are so sensitive, in fact, that they can sense minute vibrations of the earth and alert Whiscash of earthquakes before they even occur. Due to their territoriality, they become very hostile when foes enter their land. When threatened, they will go berserk and thrash about wildly to generate earthquakes with radii of over 3 miles (5 kilometers). They will also generate smaller tremors to scare out potential prey from the silt. It is said seeing a leaping Whiscash is an omen of an impending quake.
==Evolution==
Whiscash is the evolved form of Barboach, as of level 30.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Whiscash is based on Namazu, a giant catfish in Japanese mythology that is said to cause earthquakes by violently thrashing around.
===Etymology===
Whiscash may come from whisker, mustache, and catfish.
Its Japanese name, Namazun, may come from the Japanese myth of ナマズ Namazu (read Origin) and possibly 地震 Jishin (earthquake).
