Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	BARBOACH’s sensitive whiskers serve as a superb radar system. This POKéMON hides in mud, leaving only its two whiskers exposed while it waits for prey to come along.
Sapphire	BARBOACH’s body is covered with a slimy film. If a foe grabs it, this POKéMON just slips out of the enemy’s grip. This POKéMON grows weak if the slimy coating dries up.
Emerald	Its body is covered with a slimy film. The film acts as a barrier to prevent germs in muddy water from entering the BARBOACH’s body.
FireRed LeafGreen	It probes muddy riverbeds with its two long whiskers. A slimy film protects its body.
Diamond	It coats its entire body with a slimy fluid so it can squirm and slip away if grabbed.
Pearl	Its whiskers make a superb radar. They are used to locate prey, even in the murkiest of water.
Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2	Its slimy body is hard to grasp. In one region, it is said to have been born from hardened mud.
HeartGold SoulSilver	BARBOACH uses its whiskers to taste things just as a person uses his or her tongue to taste things.
