If WHISCASH goes on a wild rampage, it sets off a quake-like tremor with a radius of over three miles. This POKéMON has the ability to predict real earthquakes.

Emerald

Mysteriously, it can foretell earthquakes. In the daytime, it sleeps in mud at the bottom of a pond. When it awakens, it continually feeds throughout the night.

FireRed

It makes its nest at the bottom of swamps. It will eat anything - if it is alive, WHISCASH will eat it.
