It evolves into Barraskewda starting at level 26.

Biology

Arrokuda is a brown and tan fish Pokémon resembling a barracuda. It has two big black eyes and two small jaws pointing upward, the latter of which it is very proud of. It also has five fins scattered on its body; two pelvic fins, two anal fins, and one dorsal fin. This Pokémon has two red spots, one behind each jaw, as well as three white scales on each side of its body for a total of six. Arrokuda lastly has three back fins on its tail resembling a ship propeller, starting off tan in color, but having a brown coloring on the end.

Cramorant is the natural predator of Arrokuda, and they grab Arrokuda in their mouth in battle if using Surf or Dive. Cramorant tend to spit out Arrokuda when attacked, however, causing the Rush Pokémon to fly out and smack nearby opponents.

Should Arrokuda see any movement near it, it will charge in a straight line using its sharp pointed jaws, though its movements tend to become sluggish when it eats too much, which is typically when Cramorant appear to swallow it up.

Trivia

Arrokuda was first shown as part of Cramorant's official reveal, but remained unnamed until the release of Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Origin

Arrokuda appears to be based on a barracuda. It also resembles other large predatory fish, such as the houndfish, arowana, and northern pike. In addition, it appears to draw inspiration from darts and arrows, with its caudal fin being shaped similarly to fletchings.

Name origin

Arrokuda may be a combination of arrow or arowana and barracuda.

Sasikamasu may be a combination of 刺し sashi (pricking) and 梭子魚 kamasu (barracuda).
