Type: Dark/Poison

Abilities:

In Battle:

• Signature move: Barb Barrage, a powerful Poison-type attack that becomes stronger if the target has a status condition.
• Effective against Grass, Fairy, and Psychic types, taking advantage of its dual-typing.
• Vulnerable to Ground-type moves, but can mitigate this weakness by leveraging Swift Swim to outspeed opponents in rain.
