      Barboach is one of the best Pokémon in the Little League, a fearsome “mud boi” that lives up to its reputation. Backed with a spammy moveset and decent bulk, it beats a large section of this format's Pokémon, including big shots like Chansey, Wigglytuff, Skarmory, Chinchou, Skorupi, and Swinub. Barboach is an invaluable addition to any team, with its double weakness to Grass being its main issue.

      Barboach is not viable for any other PvP League.
