From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Kricketot (Japanese: コロボーシ Koroboshi) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves into Kricketune starting at level 10.
Biology
Kricketot is a bipedal, bug-like Pokémon. The majority of its body is red with a streak down its front and black cape-like marking on its back. Its head is encircled with a flat, white structure similar to a collar. A female has a bigger collar than a male. Two hard, black antennae with curled tips are connected to the head by a dark red segment. A similar dark red segment forms this Pokémon's nose, and it has small, black hands and feet. By shaking its head and rubbing its antennae together, it is able to create a xylophonic sound that it uses to communicate.
In the anime
Major appearances
Kricketot's first significant appearance in the anime came in Last Call — First Round!, where one was used by Nando during the Performance Stage of the Sinnoh Grand Festival. It performed along with an Altaria and helped Nando advance to the Contest Battles.

Kricketot has appeared fairly often in the anime, however these are mostly fleeting cameos. Kricketot made its anime debut in Dawn Of A New Era!, and later made appearances in A Trainer and Child Reunion!, The Lonely Snover!, and Battling a Cute Drama!.
