Kricketot (Japanese: コロボーシ Koroboshi) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Kricketune starting at level 10.
Biology
Physiology
Kricketot is a large cricket-like Pokémon with a musical voice. It is able to stand on its hind legs and walk using its two short, strong back legs. Kricketot is mainly red in color, with a white collar-like feature across its neck, a white streak down the front of its body, small black limbs and a black "cape". It has two black antennae that are similar to a mustache. The antennae seem to be connected to the body by a dark-red segment, and Kricketot's round nose is also dark red in coloration.
Gender differences
A female has a bigger collar than a male.
Special abilities
They are able to create a xylophonic sound by shaking their head and rubbing their antennae together, which they use to communicate.
Behavior
It chats with others using the sounds of its colliding antennae. As its legs are short, when it stumbles its antennae clack with a xylophone-like sound.
Habitat
Unlike its evolved form, Kricketot cannot be found during the mid-day to afternoon. It usually lives on trees.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Kricketot have been depicted to consume the acorn-like berries growing on the bushes of Grotle.
In the anime
Kricketot has appeared fairly often in the anime, however these are mostly fleeting cameos. Kricketot made it's anime debut in Dawn Of A New Era!, and later made appearances in Lost Leader Strategy!, Saving the World From Ruins!, A Trainer and Child Reunion!, The Lonely Snover! and Battling a Cute Drama!. Several Kricketot also appear in The Rise of Darkrai, playing in the garden amongst the other Pokémon.
Kricketot's first significant appearance in the anime came in Last Call, First Round!, where one was used by Nando as part of his contest appeal in the Grand Festival.
