Ash's Krabby

Ash captured a Krabby in Mystery at the Lighthouse. It was transfered to Professor Oak's lab. Ash didn't use Krabby until Round One - Begin!. After defeating an Exeggutor in that first battle, Krabby evolved into a Kingler.

Gary Oak has a larger-than-average Krabby, which has never been seen in battle.

In the second movie, The Power of One, they tell a joke where the punch line is "At least I don't have Krabbies!"
