In the games

• Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire: After hitting the button changing the Pokémon bumpers on the Ruby Field a set number of times, Whiscash will appear in the pool. Hitting the ball into Whiscash's mouth will transport the player to the Sealeo Bonus Field. In the unlikely event that the ball hits Whiscash from behind, it will get angry and start an earthquake.

In the anime

Whiscash first appeared in AG075.

Whiscash was the third Pokémon that Juan used for the second half of the Gym Battle in AG111. The Whiskers Pokémon was defeated by Ash's Swellow.

It was to also appear in another episode called Shaking Island Battle!! Dojoach VS Namazun!!. However this episode was never aired due to the fact that it involved earthquakes which Japan had recently suffered.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Whiscash is extremely territorial. Just one of these Pokémon will claim a large pond as its exclusive territory. If a foe approaches it, it thrashes about and triggers a massive earthquake.

Pokémon Sapphire

If Whiscash goes on a wild rampage, it sets off a quake-like tremor with a radius of over three miles. This Pokémon has the ability to predict real earthquakes.

Pokémon Emerald

Mysteriously, it can foretell earthquakes. In the daytime, it sleeps in mud at the bottom of a pond. When it awakens, it continually feeds throughout the night.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

It makes its nest at the bottom of swamps. It will eat anything - if it is alive, Whiscash will eat it.
