Ash's Kingler (Japanese: サトシのキングラー Satoshi's Kingler) was the seventh Pokémon acquired by Ash Ketchum in the Kanto region, and the first of Ash's Pokémon to primarily reside at Professor Oak's laboratory in Pallet Town. Its voice actor in both Japanese and English is Unshō Ishizuka. As a Krabby, Rikako Aikawa voiced it in both languages.

History

Ash originally obtained it as a Krabby in Mystery at the Lighthouse, where he caught it to prove to Misty that it was not a fluke that he captured all his other Pokémon. Having six Pokémon already in his party at the time, the newly caught Krabby's Poké Ball was teleported away, much to Ash's surprise and concern. He soon learned that Krabby was sent to Professor Oak.

Krabby's battling debut came in Round One - Begin!, when Ash used it during the first round of the Pokémon League against Mandi. Krabby was able to defeat Mandi's Exeggutor and it then evolved into a Kingler. It was able to finish the rest of the match by defeating Mandi's two remaining Pokémon, Seadra and Golbat.

Kingler spent most of the time at Oak's lab as Ash and his friends traveled the Orange Islands and the Johto region. Ash used it in Johto during the Whirl Cup tournament in The Perfect Match. It was used in the match against Misty and her Poliwhirl and Psyduck.

Ash was planning to use Kingler in the Johto League Silver Conference, but it was injured while rescuing a group of runaway Voltorb making it unable to participate in the rest of the tournament.

Kingler currently resides at Professor Oak's Lab.

Trivia

  • Kingler is the only Template:Type2 that Ash has owned that ever evolved.
  • Kingler is Ash's first crustacean-based Pokémon. The second is Corphish.
  • Kingler is the only one of Ash's Pokémon that evolved after its first battle. It is also Ash's only Pokémon to win in a Pokémon League match single handedly.
  • Kingler is the first of Ash's Pokémon to be transferred directly to Professor Oak.
    • It is the only one to be transferred once it was captured, the others were captured, kept for a little while and then transferred.
  • Because of Kingler being injured by some Voltorb, Kingler is the only one of Ash's Pokémon at the time not to participate in the Silver conference.
