Arrokuda is one of the recently added Water Pokemon in the monster-catching series, first debuted back in Generation VIII or Pokemon Sword and Shield. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you can still find its evolution, called Barraskewda, in the wild, but you might want to evolve an Arrokuda instead. Here is how you can evolve an Arrokuda into Barraskewda in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
