Trivia
- Trapinch has a higher base Attack stat than its evolved form Vibrava. It also has the same base Attack stat as Vibrava's evolution, Flygon.
- Trapinch evolves at level 35, later than any Pokémon involved in a three-stage evolution by level only. Rhyhorn evolves the latest at level 42, into Rhydon, but Rhydon evolves into Rhyperior via trade, not level.
- Despite being based on an insect, and being in the Bug egg group, Trapinch is a Ground-type Pokémon, and doesn't have Bug as a type.
- Out of all unevolved Pokémon, Trapinch can learn the most moves by leveling up which its evolutions cannot, excluding Pokémon who evolve from stones such as Raichu and Arcanine.
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's name is a combination of trap and pinch. Its Japanese name may be a contraction of nutcracker.
In other languages
- German: Knacklion - A combination of Knack, the German onomatopoeic word for "snap", and the English antlion.
- French: Kraknoix
- Korean: 톱치 Topchi
