'''Karrablast''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カブルモ''' ''Kaburumo'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Escavalier}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} for a {{p|Shelmet}}, a Pokémon that evolves into {{p|Accelgor}} simultaneously. Neither evolves if at least one holds an [[Everstone]] during the trade.
==Biology==
Karrablast is a round, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a primarily blue carapace that comprises a horn at the tip. Its black face has a teal patch on its forehead, a fanged mouth, and eyes with orange pupils and yellow sclerae. Its ridged underbelly, or plastron, is yellow, and its stubby arms and legs are black.
When it senses danger, it spews an acidic liquid from its mouth. It targets its rival {{p|Shelmet}}, so it can evolve through electrical-like energy. Shelmet is also the preferred prey of Karrablast, as it eats the inside after melting the shell.  It resides in forests and fields, and it often hides in trees or grass if threatened.
===Evolution===
Karrablast evolves into {{p|Escavalier}}.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
*Karrablast and {{p|Shelmet}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have to be [[trade]]d for a specific Pokémon to evolve, having to be traded for each other.
===Origin===
Karrablast's name, its capacity of producing corrosive substances as a method of protection, and its penchant for attacking {{p|Shelmet}} suggest it is inspired by a {{wp|ground beetle}}. In an interview, [[Ken Sugimori]] confirmed that the original idea for Karrablast, as suggested by [[Atsuko Nishida]], was a snail-eating beetle based on the ''{{wp|Carabus smaragdinus}}'' species.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> Its horn, which may have also been inspired by {{wp|Dynastinae|rhinoceros beetles}}, somewhat resembles an escargot fork.
Karrablast and Shelmet's relationship may be a reference to {{wp|coevolution}}, where the evolution of one species is influenced by changes in another species; in this case, the relationship between predator and prey.
====Name origin====
Karrablast may be a combination of ''{{wp|Carabus}}'' (genus of beetles belonging to the {{wp|ground beetle}} family), κέρατο ''kérato'' (Greek for ''horn''), or ''{{wp|carapace}}'' (the upper half of a shell, which is commonly, albeit incorrectly, associated with beetles), and ''blast'' (referring to its defense mechanism) or ''plastron'' (French for chestplate). It may also be derived from ''{{wp|Carabus blaptoides}}'', a species of ground beetle endemic to Japan.
Kaburumo may be derived from 蝸牛被  ''maimaikaburi'' (''Carabus blaptoides'') and 甲虫 ''kabutomushi'' (beetle).
