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

Biology

Physiology

Crawdaunt are large crustacean Pokémon. They have three pairs of limbs in total: two claws, one pair of legs that resembles Corphish's and a back pair that looks almost elephantine. They possess two blue stripes on their chin that are sometimes mistaken for a pair of lips. On the top of their head is a yellow star-shaped object, the purpose of which is currently not known.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Crawdaunt is a very powerful, if violent Pokémon. Its strong pincers allow it to use moves such as Vicegrip and even Guillotine. Its tough outer armor also provide it with a sturdy armor, which can be seen with its ability Shell Armor.

Behavior

Crawdaunt are extremely aggressive Pokémon that will bully others enough to drive them away from their homes.

Trivia

• Crawdaunt's original name was Lobstar, referring to the star on its head and the word lobster.
• Up to date, Crawdaunt is the only Pokémon with a catch rate of 155.

Origin

Crawdaunt's name suggests it is based on a crayfish. However its size and dark type would suggest it based on a larger more powerdul variation lobster.

Name origin

Crawdaunt's name is a pun on crawdad, an alternate name for a crayfish. It is also in combination with daunt, to cause to lose courage. Its Japanese name is based on シザー shizā, scissors, and ザリガニ zarigani, crayfish. The German name is based off of crab and attack.
