Goh's Trapinch (Japanese: ゴウのナックラー Go's Nuckrar) is the sixth Pokémon that Goh caught in the Hoenn region, and his sixtieth overall.

History

In Making Battles in the Sand!, Goh first encountered Trapinch when he and Ash were investigating a Sandstorm that had hit Mauville City. Goh consults his Pokédex, learning that Trapinch dig bowl-shaped pits to trap and hunt prey. Goh decides he will have to catch Trapinch to save the people. A standard throw fails, but his curveball manages to catch Trapinch.

In Absol Absolved!, Goh calls out Trapinch and has it use Dig to investigate underground in a snowy mountain. Trapinch does so, but quickly resurfacers, shuddering from the cold, and Goh promptly recalls it.

In JN107, Goh used Trapinch, along with other Pokémon in Cerise Park, to create a pond for Grimer to live in without dirtying the park's water stream.

Personality and characteristics

Trapinch seems to be a trustworthy and helpful Pokémon, where it helped Goh and his other Pokémon create a pond for Grimer to live in, and celebrated their success afterwards.
