===Physiology===
Corphish is a red-shelled, crustacean Pokémon with a short tail similar to a lobster. Its eyes are saucer-like with small pupils, and it has three spikes on top of its head. It possesses four pairs of limbs in total: two large pincers used for gripping prey, and three pairs of legs used for walking. The upper segments of its legs, underside of its body and lower halves of its pincers are cream-colored.
Corphish are crustacean Pokémon with a red shell, however the joints to its limbs and the underside to its body and pincers are cream in coloration. They possess four pairs of limbs in total: two pincers and three pairs of legs used for walking about. Their eyes are saucer-like, with small pupils, and it has a crest of three spikes on its head. Its tail is fairly short and lobster-like.
====Gender differences====
None.


====Special abilities====
A hardy creature, Corphish is able to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|polluted water}} and eat nearly anything. Though not native to [[Alola]], Corphish set free by Trainers there have easily adapted and thrived in the region. {{p|Feebas}} and Corphish are the only Pokémon known to be able to live in stagnant ditches.
Corphish has the ability to live in polluted water, where it will quickly reproduce. Its powerful pincers allow it to use the moves {{m|ViceGrip}} and {{m|Crunch}}, and ultimately, the one-hit-knockout move {{m|Guillotine}}.
 
===Behavior===
Corphish try to compensate for their small size by being stronger than any other Pokémon on their territory. If a new Pokémon enters its territory, the resident Corphish will immediately challenge it to battle.
 
===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Corphish can live in any body of water that can support them.
 
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Corphish are willing to eat anything that is edible.

*Corphish is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 205.
*Corphish can be found in the Hoenn region, but it says in its Pokédex entries that it came from another region overseas. This would make it the first exotic species in the Pokémon world.
*Corphish can be found in the Hoenn region, but it says in its Pokédex entries that it came from another region overseas. This would make it the first exotic species in the Pokémon world.
*Corphish only has eight limbs, including claws, whereas both crayfish and lobsters have ten limbs.
*Corphish's tendency to say "Hey, hey!" in such games as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] is a reference to its Japanese name, "Heigani".


===Origin===
===Origin===
Based on the Pokémon Ruby Pokédex entry, Corphish is probably based on the {{wp|Red Swamp Crayfish}}. Native to North America, this species was introduced in Japan as food for bullfrogs. Today, these crayfish are popular pets in Japan.<sup>[http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Procambarus_clarkii.html]</sup>
Based on its {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Ruby}} [[Pokédex]] entry, Corphish is probably based on the {{wp|Procambarus clarkii|red swamp crayfish}}, which, like Corphish, are invasive pests in many areas.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Corphish's name is possibly a pun on ''{{wp|crayfish}}'', the species it is based on, and ''{{wp|corps}}'' (pr. "core"), a branch of military servicemen, or ''{{wp|corporal}}'', a member of the military or police force.
Corphish may be a combination of ''{{wp|corps}}'' (a branch of military servicemen; pronounced as ''core'') or ''{{wp|corporal}}'' (a member of the military or police force) and ''{{wp|crayfish}}'' (the species it is based on). Alternatively, it could derive from the archaic Newfoundland fishing term ''corfish'', which are a type of dried fish.
 
Alternatively, it could be a homonymic play on the arcane Newfoundland fishing term ''corfish'', which are a kind of dried fish.


''Heigani'' is based on "hei" 弊 meaning bad habit or to harm, or "hei" 兵 means army,troops and "ebigani" , meaning crayfish.
Heigani is a combination of 弊 ''hei'' (''a bad habit'' or ''to harm'') or 兵 ''hei'' (army/troops) and ''ebigani'' (crayfish).
