Can barbaracle be good in competitive battling?

I noticed that it has real good moves, but nobody seems to be using it

Just like you said it learns good moves, it has a decent Attack stat and Tough Claws can be useful, butit’s duel type and low HP is what kept it out of UU, maybe even OU.Three x2 weaknesses and a x4 weakness to Grass is hard to deal with, and renders it’s high defense stat useless.

I’m using it and it’s really goodAll you need to make a good BarbaracleFocus Sash Item EVs:252 Attack 252 Speed 4 Sp.defShell SmashRazor ShellEarthquakeStone EdgeAmazing set I beat a Mega Mawile with it.:IDo this with Tough Claws once you pull off a Shell Smash or 2 your Barbaracle will take out about 3 to 4 Pokemon atleast maybe even the WHOLE TEAM

I guess it can be used in the competitive scene.-BST is 500-Barbaracle possesses excellent stats.-A physical attacker, and also has access to Tough Claws to make its physical moves to hit hard.-High HP-High Attack-Nice defensive stats-Hard hitting stab moves-Extremely sough out move Skull BashThis probably wasn’t really helpful…lol. So I guess Barbaracle can be a powerhouse if used correctly.
