High risk, high reward with Barraskewda. The offense is outstanding but the bulk won't survive much — 50 base Sp. Def is the weak link. Only weak to Electric and Grass. Outspeeds nearly everything without investment. Known as the Skewer Pokemon.
Speed leads and Sp. Def gets almost nothing. That's Barraskewda's stat line in a nutshell. 2 stats sit in respectable range, but the spread is brutal. Moderately hard to find and yields 2 Speed EVs.

Prediction matters here. Choice Band means Barraskewda can't change moves after clicking, but the payoff is raw power at the cost of move flexibility. Max Attack and Speed EVs with Swiftswim back that up. The remaining moves prevents free switches.
Level-up moves are just the starting point for Barraskewda. TMs unlock coverage across 9 types and turn a straightforward STAB kit around Hydro Pump and Surf into something with actual range.
