It evolves from Corphish starting at level 30.

Biology

Physiology

Crawdaunt are large crustacean Pokémon. They have three pairs of limbs in total: two claws, one pair of legs that resembles Corphish's and a back pair that looks almost elephantine. They possess two blue stripes on their chin that are sometimes mistaken for a pair of lips. On the top of their head is a yellow star-shaped object, the purpose of which is currently not known. It may just be there for show.

Gender differences

Special abilities

Crawdaunt is a very powerful, violent Pokémon. Its strong pincers allow it to use moves such as ViceGrip and even Guillotine. Its tough outer armor also enables it to have a sturdy defense, which can be seen with its ability Shell Armor.

Trivia

• Crawdaunt's original name was Lobstar, referring to the star on its head and the word lobster.
• To date, Crawdaunt is the only Pokémon with a catch rate of 155.
• In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, some of the Crawdaunt caught in Celestic Town may be underleveled - Corphish does not evolve until level 30, but it is possible to catch a level 20 Crawdaunt in Celestic Town.

Origin

Crawdaunt's name suggests it is based on a red swamp crayfish. However, its size and dark type would suggest it based on a larger, more powerful type of creature, a lobster.

Name origin

Crawdaunt's name is a pun on crawdad, an alternate name for a crayfish. It is also in combination with daunt, to cause to lose courage, or maybe Taunt (which happens to be a move it can learn). Its Japanese name is based on シザー shizā, scissors, and ザリガニ zarigani, crayfish.

In other languages

• German: Krebutack - From Krabben (crab) and attack.
