Story

Krabby is a fascinating Pokémon with a strong red shell protecting its small body. It has eyes and two small spikes on top of its head, and a light tan lower body that forms its jaw with two fangs. It moves around on four long, thin legs, each with a single claw-like foot. The most striking features are its two large, red pincers at the end of its arms, which Krabby uses for both defense and to keep its balance. If Krabby ever loses a pincer during a scuffle, don't worry! It can grow a new one back in a short time.

This clever Pokémon loves living by the water's edge, often found burrowing in the sand on beaches. Krabby usually keeps to itself, but if its home is bothered, it will bravely defend it! To outsmart anyone who might challenge it, Krabby can create lots of foam around its body. This makes it look much bigger than it really is, confusing opponents and helping Krabby stay safe and sound in its sandy home.
