Pokédex entries

X Omega Ruby	When they evolve, two Binacle multiply into seven. They fight with the power of seven Binacle.
Y Alpha Sapphire	Barbaracle’s legs and hands have minds of their own, and they will move independently. But they usually follow the head’s orders.
Sword	Seven Binacle come together to form one Barbaracle. The Binacle that serves as the head gives orders to those serving as the limbs.
Shield	Having an eye on each palm allows it to keep watch in all directions. In a pinch, its limbs start to act on their own to ensure the enemy’s defeat.
