Trivia
- Corphish is the only Pokémon to date with a catch rate of 205.
- Corphish can be found in the Hoenn region, but it says in its Pokédex entries that it came from another region overseas. This would make it the first exotic species in the Pokémon world.
- Corphish only has eight limbs, including claws, whereas both crayfish and lobsters have ten limbs.
- Corphish is the only non-Generation V Pokémon to have a base stat total of 308.
- Corphish's tendency to say "Hey, hey!" in such games as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is a reference to its Japanese name, "Heigani".
Origin
Based on the Pokémon Ruby Pokédex entry, Corphish is probably based on the Red Swamp Crayfish. Native to North America, this species was introduced in Japan as food for bullfrogs. Today, these crayfish are popular pets in Japan.[1]
Name origin
Corphish may be a combination of corps (a branch of military servicemen; pronounced as core) or corporal (a member of the military or police force) and 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.
Heigani is a combination of 弊 hei (a bad habit or to harm) or 兵 hei (army/troops) and ebigani (crayfish).
