A Whiscash named Nero appeared in Whiscash and Ash.

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