Pokédex entries

Sword	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.
Shield	It spins its tail fins to propel itself, surging forward at speeds of over 100 knots before ramming prey and spearing into them.
Scarlet	It spins its tail fins to leap from the water, then viciously bites down on Wingull flying close to the water’s surface.
Violet	It swims at speeds of over 100 knots and battles fiercely with pods of Finizen over prey.
