Corphish (Japanese: ヘイガニ Heigani; German: Krebscorps; French: Ecrapince) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald

Once it grips prey with its large pincers, it will never let go, no matter what. It is a hardy Pokémon that can thrive in any environment.

Name origin

Corphish's name is possibly a pun on crayfish. Alternatively, it could be a homonymic play on the arcane Newfoundland fishing term corfish, probably meaning "codfish," or "ungutted fish." Corfish can especially be found in old English; for example, see page 279 of Captain John Smith: A Select Edition of His Writings. Its Japanese name is based on 平家蟹 heikegani, Heike crab.
