Stats & Training
Raw HP carries Whiscash's bulk more than the defenses do. Speed barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A moderately hard to find Whiskers Pokemon that yields 2 HP EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Whiscash is extremely territorial. Just one of these Pokémon will claim a large pond as its exclusive territory. If a foe approaches it, it thrashes about and triggers a massive earthquake.
If Whiscash goes on a wild rampage, it sets off a quake-like tremor with a radius of over three miles. This Pokémon has the ability to predict real earthquakes.
Whiscash Weakness
Whiscash is weak to Grass. Watch out for Grass attacks, those deal 4x damage. On the flip side, it's immune to Electric-type moves entirely. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. With 110 HP and balanced defenses, Whiscash can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
