Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen

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.

Pokémon Crystal

If it is unable to find food, it will absorb nutrients by swallowing a mouthful of sand.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Krabby live on beaches, burrowed inside holes dug into the sand. On sandy beaches with little in the way of food, these Pokémon can be seen squabbling with each other over territory.

Pokémon Emerald

Krabby live in holes dug into beaches. On sandy shores with little in the way of food, they can be seen squabbling with each other over territory.

Pokémon FireRed

It can be found near the sea. The large pincers grow back if they are torn out of their sockets.
