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. |
