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.

Name origin

Wishcash's name is based on whisker, referring to the long whiskers it has. Its Japanese name is based on 鯰 Namazu, a catfish in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes.
