[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Whiscash (Japanese: ナマズン Namazun) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Barboach starting at level 30.
Biology
Physiology
Whiscash are dark blue fish that are bulky in physique. They have huge cavernous mouths and long barbels that usually act as feelers. These barbels are even able to be manipulated like tentacles. They also have a marking on their foreheads that resemble a "W". They also possess a dorsal fin that, unlike other fish, is horizontal, much like a sea mammal's tail fluke.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Much like other ground types, they have the ability to cause their own earthquakes in addition to predicting real ones.
Behavior
Whiscash are usually calm fish unless confronted by anything they perceive as a threat. In case this happens, Whiscash may cause their own earthquakes as well as struggle if they are caught on a fishing line.
As shown in Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire as well as the anime, it is not uncommon for a Whiscash to swallow Poké Balls. This could quite possibly be its way of avoiding capture.
Habitat
They tend to inhabit the murky depths of placid lakes and slow moving river systems.
Diet
Whiscash are carnivores that will swallow their prey whole.

In the anime
A Whiscash named Nero appeared in Whiscash and Ash.
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.
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.
A Whiscash also appeared in One Big Happiny Family! in Jessie's fantasy.
Another Whiscash also appeared in DP138.
In the 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.
In the TCG

Origin
Whiscash is based on Namazu, a catfish in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes.
Name origin
Whiscash's name is based on whisker, referring to the long whiskers it has; the -cash part of its name is presumably an abbreviation of the word catfish. Its Japanese name is based on 鯰 Namazu, a catfish in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes. 鯰 namazu is also Japanese for catfish.
