#847 Barraskweda

Barraskewda (Japaneseカマスジョー Kamasujaw) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves from Arrokuda starting at level 26.

Barraskewda is a fishlike Pokémon with a long body and tapered head. Its head is colored brown and has small eyes with beady black pupils and no visible irises. Its mouth has a noticeable under-bite, and two teeth on each side of its lower jaw can be seen when Barraskewda has its mouth closed. At each corner of its mouth are two dark spiral markings. Barraskewda’s head has four protrusions extending backward from its sides, with a spike extending from the upper and lower part of each side. Its main body is tan in color, and across each side of its midsection it has a white line running down most of its length, with other white markings branching off, resembling fish-bones. A similar branching brown marking can be found running down the length of Barraskewda’s dorsal side. It has two pairs of ventral fins and one dorsal fin located near the back of its body, along with four tail-fins that can rotate like a propeller, allowing Barraskewda to swim at high speeds. All of Barraskewda’s fins are colored red. Its tail fins are attached to a white hub that connects to the brown rear section of its body, and the spines in its other fins are brown as well.

Barraskewda’s jaws are said to be as sharp as a spear and strong like steel. It propels itself up to speeds of 100 knots (185 kmph; 115 mph) by spinning its tail, and uses that speed to ram into its prey, spearing it. It is able to leap out of the water and catch Wingull flying near the surface with its jaws. It is also known to compete with Finizen for food. The flesh of Barraskewda is surprisingly tasty.

Barraskewda and its pre-Evolution, Arrokuda, are the only known Pokémon that can have Propeller Tail as an Ability.“-Bulbapedia.
