Crabrawler (Japanese: マケンカニ Makenkani) is a Fighting-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves into Crabominable when leveled up at Mount Lanakila or when exposed to an Ice Stone.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Crabrawler is a crustacean Pokémon resembling a crab. Most of its shell is purple with blue and yellow accents. It has two long, yellow antennae over its eyes. One blue eyelid is usually half-closed, giving it the appearance of a black eye. The purple shell covering its body appears to be made of three parts: two plain plates covering the shoulders and part of the chest and one plate covered in blue stripes across its underside. A large portion of its yellow body is visible down the center of its chest and a tiny spot is visible in the center of its back. Crabrawler has three pairs of legs. The two rear pairs are smaller with yellow joints and blue tips. The foremost pair of legs has large blue pincers resembling boxing gloves. There is a small amount of meat in its claws, which is considered delicious.

A competitive Pokémon that hates to lose, this Pokémon uses its large claws to protect its face and belly while it closes in on opponents. Crabrawler's pincers sometimes break off from overuse but grow back quickly. Crabrawler's pincers are a popular ingredient for paella, making a tasty soup stock. Crabrawler strives to achieve not only a high social standing but a physically higher position as well. It can be found clinging to buildings or even tall people and will punch anyone who attempts to remove it from its perch. In the event that it does lose, its mouth will foam before it faints.

While it is capable of splitting tree trunks, it usually punches trees to knock down ripe berries. Many Crabrawler will gather around a tree to compete for the ripe berries. ^[1] Crabrawler also preys on Exeggcute. It has been known to mistake Exeggutor for coconut trees, which shake and stomp Crabrawler off when climbed.

Trivia

• Crabrawler is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 338.
• Crabrawler and Crabominable are the only Fighting-type Pokémon with an insectoid body, and the only Fighting-type Pokémon in the Water 3 Egg Group.

Origin

Crabrawler was known by the code name "Crab 1" during development.^[2] However, its pronounced tail tucked under a long body more closely resembles Anomuran crustaceans, which are not true crabs. Specifically, it appears to be based on the coconut crab, a terrestrial hermit crab that climbs trees. Some of Crabrawler's attributes are also reminiscent of professional boxers, with its claws resembling boxing gloves and one eye appearing swollen.

Name origin

Crabrawler may be a combination of crab and brawler.

Makenkani may be a combination of 負けん気 makenki (hates to lose, competitive spirit), 喧嘩 kenka (fight), and 蟹 kani (crab).
