Talk:Crabrawler (Pokémon)
Trivia
It should be noted that unlike the previous crustacean Pokémon (Krabby, Corphish, Clauncher, and their evolved forms) Crabrawler is not a Water-type. -Tyler53841 (talk) 17:03, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

- That's because it's based on coconut crabs, which are a land species. Horo-kun (talk) 17:44, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
- Shouldn't that be explained in the origin section? Latios86101 (talk) 18:12, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Biology
Crabrawler is a crustacean Pokémon resembling a coconut crab. Most of its body, including its carapace, legs, and tail, is purple. The tail curls under its body and has blue joints. The ends of its legs and its powerful pincers are also blue. The claws are large and round, resembling boxing gloves, and are held defensively in front of Crabrawler's face and belly. Light yellow antennae extend from the top of its head in a shape similar to a pompadour. Its segmented underside, leg joints, and upper arms are also yellowish in coloration. One of Crawbrawler's eyes appears to have permanently bruised and droopy eyelids.
Crabrawler is a terrestrial Pokémon with a fiercely competitive spirit. Its drive to reach higher social standing also compels it to climb to higher positions in the landscape. It often scales buildings or even clings to tall people, punching those who attempt to remove it. Berries are its preferred food, and Crabrawler will gather around trees to shake loose ripe fruit with powerful punches. Its claws pack enough power to split tree trunks. Individuals fight for the right to eat the fallen Berries, and the battles can be fierce. Some Crabrawler even lose their pincers during these fights, and it is said that these claws are considered a delicacy.

Basis
While Crabrawler is definitely based on a coconut crab, it could also be based on the, aptly named, boxing crab, a species which uses small sea anemones to punch attackers. I just think that it could be where the boxing aspect comes from. Logo7 (talk) 13:07, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
