Here are some moves you should use on your Barbaracle:

• Stone Edge
• Close Combat
• Liquidation
• Power-Up Punch

Apart from the Moveset, it is vital to focus on getting Barbaracle to its Mega Evolution form. To do this, all you need to do is defeat the Rogue Mega during the main mission 'A Rogue Mega Barbaracle'.

His Mega Evolution will turn it into a Rock-Fighting-type Pokemon from a Rock-Water-type Pokemon, thereby solving his weakness against other Fighting-type opponents.

Once the Mega Evolution is acquired, Barbaracle can learn Close Combat, Stone Edge, and Liquidation at levels 45, 50, and 54, respectively. These are fantastic offensive moves which are even more devastating in its Mega form.

Finally, Power-Up Punch will be its fourth move, which provides Barbaracle an Attack Boost each time it is used in a fight in Pokemon Legends Z-A. You can teach the move to the creature by using TM018 found in Wild Zone 9.
