Corphish is a red-shelled, crustacean {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a short tail similar to a lobster. Its eyes are saucer-like with small pupils, and it has three spikes on top of its head. It possesses four pairs of limbs in total: two large pincers used for gripping prey, and three pairs of legs used for walking. The upper segments of its legs, the underside of its body, and lower halves of its pincers are cream-colored.


A hardy creature, Corphish is able to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|polluted water}} and eat nearly anything. Though not native to [[Alola]], Corphish set free by Trainers there have easily adapted and thrived in the region. {{p|Feebas}} and Corphish are the only Pokémon known to be able to live in stagnant ditches.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Based on its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} [[Pokédex]] entry, Corphish is probably based on the {{wp|Procambarus clarkii|red swamp crayfish}}, which, like Corphish, are invasive pests in many areas.
Based on its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby}} Pokédex entry, Corphish is probably based on the {{wp|Procambarus clarkii|red swamp crayfish}} (native to the southern and southeastern {{wp|United States}} and also native to northern {{wp|Mexico}}), which, like Corphish, are invasive pests in many countries. Corphish's ability to learn the move {{m|Dragon Dance}} may come from the literal meaning of the word "lobster" in Chinese, which is 龙虾 ''Lóngxiā'' (dragon shrimp).


====Name origin====

Corphish may be a combination of ''{{wp|corps}}'' (a branch of military servicemen; pronounced as ''core'') or ''{{wp|corporal}}'' (a member of the military or police force) and ''{{wp|crayfish}}'' (the species it is based on). Alternatively, it could derive from the archaic Newfoundland fishing term ''corfish'', which are a type of dried fish.
Corphish may be a combination of ''{{wp|corps}}'' (branch of military servicemen) or ''{{wp|corporal}}'' and ''{{wp|crayfish}}''.

Corphish (Japanese: ヘイガニ Heigani) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Crawdaunt starting at level 30.

Biology

Corphish is a red-shelled, crustacean Pokémon with a short tail similar to a lobster. Its eyes are saucer-like with small pupils, and it has three spikes on top of its head. It possesses four pairs of limbs in total: two large pincers used for gripping prey, and three pairs of legs used for walking. The upper segments of its legs, the underside of its body, and lower halves of its pincers are cream-colored.

A hardy creature, Corphish is able to live in polluted water and eat nearly anything. Though not native to Alola, Corphish set free by Trainers there have easily adapted and thrived in the region. Feebas and Corphish are the only Pokémon known to be able to live in stagnant ditches. Corphish and its evolved form Crawdaunt are the only known Pokémon that do not flee when a swarm of Basculin appears in the lake it lives in.

Evolution

Corphish evolves into Crawdaunt.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Origin

Based on its Pokémon Ruby Pokédex entry, Corphish is probably based on the red swamp crayfish (native to the southern and southeastern United States and also native to northern Mexico), which, like Corphish, are invasive pests in many countries. Corphish's ability to learn the move Dragon Dance may come from the literal meaning of the word "lobster" in Chinese, which is 龙虾 Lóngxiā (dragon shrimp).

Name origin

Corphish may be a combination of corps (branch of military servicemen) or corporal and crayfish.

Heigani may be a combination of 兵 hei (soldier), 弊害 heigai (harmful effect), and 蝦蟹 ebigani (crayfish).
