Reasoning:
- Type: Dark because he's a treacherous pirate. According to the screenwriters, his character was conceptualized to be a "dark trickster" and counterpart to Jack Sparrow. Also (Bobsican will absolutely love this) his type in Kingdom Hearts card game is "Dark/Villains." Fighting because he's a very skilled swordsman. "When he pulled his sword out, even big guys cower away." In Cursed form, Ghost because he becomes immortal with the Aztec curse, but in reality he is unable to feel anything like an undead, and when under moonlight, his appearance changes to that of a zombie/skeleton.
- Abilities: At first, Barbossa had the opposite of Treasure Mastery, as he didn't believe in the Aztec gold curse and suffered because of it. However, as the series went on, Barbossa became an expert on many treasures, mythical weapons and other items. Partly because he didn't want to suffer the same fate as with the gold, and partly because those items could be used by him to achieve his goals. As for the other abilities, Defiant because, well, he is defiant and insolent. Analytic because of his cunning genius and skill in battle, second only to Jack Sparrow, probably. Cursed Body is quite obvious. Magic Guard because of his immortality and inability to feel pain, cold, burns, hunger, etc. or be affected by poison. This is due to the curse which is kinda magical.
- Moves: Most of them are obvious stuff that a trickster and swordsman would have. Some weirder choices are bone moves, this is due to both his cursed skeleton form and the ability to control dead matter with the Sword of Triton. He also has Poison moves from the time he poisoned his sword to battle someone. The last 5 moves listed under Physical, his entire Special movepool and Rain Dance+Defog come from the Sword of Triton again, which is able to control the ship's anchor, ropes and wood to perform attacks, and also control the sea's water and wind (Blackbeard, another user of the Sword of Triton, shrinked then bottled an entire ship and a storm).
- Cursed Form: Comes from the first movie. See Type section.
- Gigantamax Form: One of the Sword of Triton's many abilities is shrinking things and returning them to normal size. Barbossa's Gigantamax is his own ship, the Black Pearl, which he kept in a bottle for some time. The Gigantamax move effect comes from the Sword of Triton's ability to create wind for ships to sail.
- Item: See Moves section. One thing of note is Blackbeard, another user of the Sword of Triton, killed his own crew and controlled them with the Sword of Triton as zombies, so controlling "dead matter" extends to dead people too, not just dead trees in the form of wood.
- Stats: HP is high because of his incredible ability to survive, even somehow escaping a takeover of his ship in the middle of the ocean, after cutting his own leg off. Low SpA because all his Special moves come from his signature item, and the sword already increases the damage of most of those.
