Its story
Lifestyle
Its spear-sharp, steel-strong jaws impale prey. Spinning its tail, it reaches one hundred knots, the fastest known Pokémon in water. It evolves from Arrokuda.
Name origin
It draws on the barracuda, the pike, spears, and a torpedo-like tail, plus an Anglo-Saxon fish brooch. Barraskewda may combine barracuda and skewer.
