Trapinch (Japanese: ナックラー Nuckrar) is a Ground-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Vibrava starting at level 35, which evolves into Flygon starting at level 45.
Biology
Physiology
Trapinch is an orange Pokémon with an insectoid appearance. It has a roundish body with a white underside and short, stumpy legs. Trapinch has a large head in proportion to the rest of its body, it has small eyes which have what appears to be a gleam in them, and its mouth forms a zigzag shape. Despite resembling an insect, Trapinch is not a Bug type.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Trapinch's main weapon is its jaws, which can crush boulders. Trapinch are also known for their digging skills. Trapinch is one of the few non-legendary unevolved Pokémon that can learn Hyper Beam. Trapinch can also go a whole week without access to any water.
Behavior
Trapinch are patient Pokémon; despite this, they are avid hunters. After building pits in sand, they patiently await for their prey to fall. Because Trapinch's head is so big, it finds getting upright if tipped onto its back difficult.

Trapinch live in sandy deserts. Trapinch's nest is a deep, inescapable pit dug in the sand. Trapinch have also been known to burrow complex tunnels deep underground.
Diet

Trivia
- The Trapinch evolutionary line, along with the Gligar evolutionary line, are the only evolutionary families to be in the Bug Egg Group with no Bug-type members.
- Out of all unevolved Pokémon, Trapinch can learn the most moves by leveling up which its evolutions cannot, excluding Pokémon who evolve via evolutionary stones, such as Skitty and Growlithe.
- Trapinch is able to learn Gust as an Egg move despite not having any wings. This is likely because its evolutions do have wings.
- Trapinch is the only one in its evolutionary line to have a Hidden Ability.
- Trapinch having a higher base attack stat than its evolved form may be a reference the fact that antlion larvae are more aggressive and predatory than their adult stages.
Origin
It is based on the larval stage of the antlion, who spend their days in sandy pits before maturing into a winged, adult stage.
Name origin
Trapinch is a combination of trap (describing traps it uses to catch prey) and pinch (referring to its powerful jaws).
Nuckrar may be a contraction of nutcracker, referencing its nutcracker-like jaws.
