Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Trapinch's nest is a sloped, bowl-like pit dug in sand. This Pokémon patiently waits for prey to tumble down the pit. Its giant jaws have enough strength to crush even boulders.

Pokémon Sapphire

Trapinch is a patient hunter. It digs an inescapable pit in a desert and waits for its prey to come tumbling down. This Pokémon can go a whole week without access to any water.

Pokémon Emerald

Its big jaws crunch through boulders. Because its head is so big, it has a hard time getting back upright if it tips over onto its back.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

It lives in arid deserts. It makes a sloping pit trap in sand where it patiently awaits prey.

Name origin

Trapinch's name is a combination of trap and pinch.

It is based on the larval stage of the antlion, who spend their days in sandy pits before maturing into a winged, adult stage.
