Crawdaunt (Japanese: シザリガー Shizariger) is a dual-type Water/Dark Pokémon.

It evolves from Corphish starting at level 30.

Biology

Crawdaunt is a primarily red, crustacean Pokémon with a tan underside. It has circular eyes set in deep sockets and a large, star-shaped growth on its forehead. The upper and lower halves of its underside are separated by a pattern of angular red shapes, and there are two blue stripes on its throat. Its forelimbs have two large pincers with spiked edges and tan lower halves form. There are two sets of hind limbs. The foremost pair are simple claws with two spikes, while the rear pair are large and thick with two white claws. A yellow triangle marks the base of its lobster-like tail.

Crawdaunt is a very violent Pokémon that lives in ponds. Because of its constant challenges to battle, no other Pokémon wants to inhabit its territory. Any that do venture too close are tossed out of its pond with its pincers. An experienced Crawdaunt will be covered in scars from countless battles. However, it must molt regularly and its shell is soft immediately after. In order to protect itself, it burrows under stream beds until its new shell hardens.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga, a wild Crawdaunt is seen ambushing Briney and injuring his Wingull's beak. It was subdued by Kiki's Double-Edge attack and fell victim to its Cute Charm before being tied up by Ruby, though he pretended that it wasn't his work, as at this point he still hated battling.

Trivia

• Crawdaunt is the only Pokémon with a catch rate of 155.

Origin

Crawdaunt's name and appearance suggest that it is based on a red swamp crayfish. However, its size and Dark type would suggest it is based on a larger, more powerful creature, such as the lobster. Crawdaunt's shell may be based on batesian mimicry in association with Sharpedo, as it resembles an open shark mouth with a star on the nose.

Name origin

Crawdaunt is a combination of crawdad or crawfish (alternate names for a crayfish) and daunt (to cause to lose courage) or taunt.

Shizariger is a combination of シザー shizā (scissors) and ザリガニ zarigani (crayfish).
