Crabominable as Kofu’s Terastallizing Pokémon
I feel like it’s worth noting that Crabominable being Kofu’s Terastallized pokémon could be a reference to the fact that Horsehair Crabs and Yeti Crabs, two animals listed in Crabominable’s Origins on this very wiki, are aquatic animals and therefore live in the water. Yes, he’s a Water-type Expert, so it’s Water-type, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that it was chosen for him *because* he’s a Water-type Expert. The fact that crabs are edible and him being a chef just makes more sense *on top* on my reasoning as to why it was chosen. Plus, the Horsehair crab is edible, and Crabominable’s Pokédex entry in Scarlet states that their claws are “delicious.” So if anything, I think the aquatic nature of Horsehair and Yeti Crabs, and the edibility of Horsehair Crabs and Crabominable’s claws are all worth mentioning as possible inspiration for the choice of Kofu’s Terastallizing pokémon. Again, this is not an argument for why Crabominable is Water-type, because Kofu is a Water-type Expert so it obviously has to be, it is an argument for why Crabominable was chosen for the Water-type Expert, who is also coincidentally a chef which is just more evidence to the fact. Edit: Also remembered that Crabominable is in the Water 3 Egg Group, and additionally along with Crabrawler and Klawf, is the only non-Water-type member currently obtainable in Scarlet & Violet. One could argue that Klawf fits all of the above criteria as well, but it’s a Titan so I imagine they didn’t want to give anyone an ace that was also a Titan, so Crabominable appears the more reasonable choice. And finally, yes, Crabominable is a super obvious choice for Kofu, but the reason it’s so obvious, crabs are *aquatic* and edible, and he’s a *sea*food chef, are themselves evidence to my point. - unsigned comment from Anhedonic Author (talk • contribs)
- I mean, on one hand, i kinda get it, but on the other hand, it seems like one of those things that's way too obvious to worth a mention. It's like saying the sky is blue; everyone can notice it already. Also, Veluza and Wugtrio are in Kofu's team, with Veluza in particular being a common food source in Paldea.
