Barraskewda is a fishlike Pokémon with a long body and tapered head. Its head is colored brown and has small eyes with beady black pupils and no visible irises. Its mouth has a noticeable under-bite, and two teeth on each side of its lower jaw can be seen when Barraskewda has its mouth closed. At each corner of its mouth are two dark spiral markings. Barraskewda's head has four protrusions extending backward from its sides, with a spike extending from the upper and lower part of each side. Its main body is tan in color, and across each side of its midsection it has a white line running down most of its length, with other white markings branching off, resembling fish-bones. A similar branching brown marking can be found running down the length of Barraskewda's dorsal side. It has two pairs of ventral fins and one dorsal fin located near the back of its body, along with four tail-fins that can rotate like a propeller, allowing Barraskewda to swim at high speeds. All of Barraskewda's fins are colored red. Its tail fins are attached to a white hub that connects to the brown rear section of its body, and the spines in its other fins are brown as well.
