Barraskewda
Skewer Pokémon
This Pokémon has a jaw that’s as sharp as a spear and as strong as steel. Apparently Barraskewda’s flesh is surprisingly tasty, too.

In-Depth Analysis
Barraskewda's 490 base stat total marks it as a fast attacker that leans on outspeeding threats and hitting hard. Speed (136) carries most matchups, but a low Special Defense stat of 50 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Water combination gives Barraskewda 4 resistances and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 3 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 60 puts Barraskewda in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
