Barboach (Japanese: ドジョッチ Dojoach) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves into Whiscash starting at level 30.
Biology
Physiology
Barboach are small, catfish-like Pokémon that are covered in a slimy film at all times. They have an innate sense of seismic activity that is better developed in their evolved form, Whiscash. Barboach have blue whiskers that work as a superb radar in even the murkiest of water, as well as rounded pectoral fins and a tail fin. Judging by this, it is suggested that they aren't fast swimmers, but are hardy fish Pokémon. The main body of a Barboach is a soft gray color with a jagged black line running the length of their body—this might represent a fissure crack or fault line, reflecting Barboach's dual types—Ground and Water.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Being Ground- and Template:Type2d gives Barboach the rare ability to wield Ground-type moves such as Magnitude and Fissure. Barboach have powerful latent psychic abilities that reveal themselves as they grow. Barboach have been known to shy away from danger before it appears, yet they seem blissfully oblivious to other threats.
Behavior
Barboach are clever hunters and are known to hide in mud with only their two whiskers exposed, waiting for prey to come by. They also probe muddy riverbeds with these whiskers, hoping to flush out some prey.
Habitat
Much like a real loach, it can be found on muddy river bottoms.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Because of their habitat and behavior, it's likely that they eat small bugs and fish that live in mud at the bottom of lakes. They also probably eat rotting plant matter and berries that find their way to the bottom. Barboach appears to be an omnivore, and it is not known whether they prey on other fish Pokémon.
In the anime
Barboach was going to be featured in an episode between Solid as a Solrock and Vanity Affair, but the episode remained unaired due to an earthquake that occurred in Japan sometime before its scheduled airdate.
Barboach was one of the Pokémon that Juan used for his performance at the beginning of The Great Eight Fate.
Another Barboach appeared in DP138.

Trivia
- Barboach and Whiscash are the only dual-typed Water/Ground Pokémon who are not in the Water 1 egg group.
- Barboach is the only Pokémon that learns Spark through breeding.
Origin
Barboach seems to be based off of the loach; however, it is suspected to share characteristics with hagfish.
Name origin
Barboach's name is a combination of barb, referring to the barbs around its mouth, and loach, referring to the species of fish that is similar to Barboach. Its Japanese name is a contraction of dojo loach, or just a combination of 泥鰌 dojō, Japanese for loach, and loach or 土 tsuchi, ground. It is also worth noting that the first kanji in its name, 泥 doro, means "mud".
In other languages
- German: Schmerbe - From Schmerle (loach).
- French: Barloche - From barb and loach.
- Korean: 미꾸리 Mikkuri
