In the anime

Ash captured a Krabby in Mystery at the Lighthouse. It was transfered to Professor Oak's lab. Ash didn't use Krabby until Round One - Begin!. After defeating an Exeggutor in that first battle, Krabby evolved into a Kingler.

Gary Oak has a larger-than-average Krabby, which has never been seen in battle.

In the second movie, The Power of One, they tell a joke where the punch line is "At least I don't have Krabbies!"

Its pincers are not only powerful weapons, they are used for balance when walking sideways.

Pokémon Yellow

Its pincers are superb weapons. They sometimes break off during battle, but they grow back fast.

Pokémon Gold

If it senses danger approaching, it cloaks itself with bubbles from its mouth so it will look bigger.

Pokémon Silver

The pincers break off easily. If it loses a pincer, it somehow becomes incapable of walking sideways.
