What is a Crab Pokemon?

To begin with, “Crab pokemon” is not a particular pokemon in the Pokemon game franchise. Indeed, it is a category of Pokemons that have an appearance akin to a real-life Crab. For example, Crab Pokemon (like real-life crabs) have oval-shaped body types.

Not only this, but over his entire body, a crab has a protective shell that ensures that the dangerous sea creatures do not attack it. Further ahead, Crab has eight legs in real life. On the contrary, in Pokemon, different types of Crab Pokemons have different numbers of legs, body color, body shape, etc.

One of the greatest examples of inspired Crab Pokemon is Kabuto. For the most part, Kabuto is a crab pokemon. However, it has a very strange appearance. Kabuto first-time appeared in the Pokemon game series in 151 Pokemon, 1st Generation. In this, Kabuto has a circular hard-rock shell covering his upper body like a turtle. Unlike crabs, Kabuto has its claws in the inward direction rather than outward. Further ahead, Kabuto has red circular eyes which makes his appearance unrealistic.

Here’s a fun fact: did you know? Kabuto originated from a Fossil. Meaning that the hard rock on their back covering his entire body is a fossil. It is one of the reasons why Kabuto is quite powerful. Surprisingly enough, Kabuto’s transformation/evolution into Kabutops is jaw-dropping.

With that being said, let’s find out the names of all the Crab Pokemons in the Pokemon Game series —

Which is the best Crab Pokemon in the Pokemon Gameplay?

It is no surprise that the best Crab/Krab Pokemon is Krabby. According to Pokemon Legends, Krabby is indeed the non-mixed species of crab pokemon. It means that it contains all the original qualities of a Crab. In addition to this, he has a perfect crab form akin to real-time wildlife.

In the Pokemon World, you may come across distinct types of Crab Pokemon, among which there are grass pokemon as well. These pokemon are not findable near the sea area. However, Krabby is easy to find in such areas. It has a hyper cut ability along with an electric factor. Henceforth, Krabby can easily attack its opponent using Electric shock like Pikachu.

What’s more?

Krabby lives in nature near the water’s edge, in both fresh and saltwater. It is most usually spotted burrowing in the sand on beaches. When food is short, it will consume sand to replenish nutrients and will be fierce in defending its territory. Its primary means of protection is to cover its body in foam in an attempt to fool opponents into thinking it is larger than it is. Krabby, as seen in the anime, prefers to keep to itself but will defend itself if provoked. Crabhammer was its signature move before Generation III.

Krabby is a scavenger and an omnivore who rarely hunts for himself. It can also function as a filter feeder by balancing microorganisms in the sand, but this is uncommon. As well as, it is territorial, and conflicts between Krabby are common on beaches when there is little food. Krabby also uses camouflage; if attacked, it can produce mucus sacs around itself, making it appear larger or more difficult to spot against sea sand. It is normally quite little, but its aggression compensates for this.
