>>22186656You've fought against Barbaracles before, most notably the one belonging to your rival of yesteryear, Dio (though in hindsight, it's hard to call him a rival when all you did was lose to him). If you recall correctly, Dio's Barbaracle had the ability to fight at both close range and from afar, thanks to use of his stretchy retractable limbs.
>'It's almost like he was made out of rubber. I wonder how that happened..'In contrast, Siebold's Barbaracle seems to have completely dropped that ability in favor of near-complete perfection and control of close combat fisticuffs. In other words, you'll want to stay as far away from him as possible to keep him from pulling his most deadliest moves.
"Parabolic Charge!"
>'Dedenne's low on health, and since he's my only Electric-type, I've just gotta keep him alive for as long as I can, I really hope he can pull through this!'"Neeeeeeee!"
"Cut down on that recovery, Barbaracle. Use Poison Jab!"
