Behavior
Crawdaunt are extremely aggressive Pokémon that will bully others enough to drive them away from their homes.
Crawdaunt has an extremely violent nature that compels it to challenge other living things to battle. Other life-forms refuse to live in ponds inhabited by this Pokémon, making them desolate places.
Crawdaunt molts (sheds) its shell regularly. Immediately after molting, its shell is soft and tender. Until the shell hardens, this Pokémon hides in its streambed burrow to avoid attack from its foes.
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.
