Kingler (Japanese: キングラー Kingler) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Krabby starting at level 28.
Biology
Physiology
Kingler is a large crab-like Pokémon. Its claws and upper half of its body are reddish-orange with the four legs and lower body being cream-colored. Its left claw is particularly larger than the right one.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Kingler's left pincer boasts 10,000 horsepower of crushing force, but its massive weight makes it difficult for Kingler to aim with.
Since Kingler is a fully evolved Pokémon, it is capable of using Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
It waves this huge claw in the air to communicate with others. However, because the claw is so heavy, the Pokémon quickly tires.
Habitat
It can be presumed that, like its pre-evolution, Kingler live in beaches. It is found in Kanto and Johto.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Kingler mainly eat Shellder and possibly other species of mollusk Pokémon.

Trivia
- Kingler's left claw is always the larger of the two, except in Generation I and its early artwork by Ken Sugimori, where this is reversed.
- Also in the Red and Blue sprite, the claws are equal in size.
- Kingler shares the same species name with Scizor. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
- Kingler has the highest Attack stat out of all Water-type Pokémon, having a base Attack of 130.
- Kingler and its pre-evolution Krabby are two of the four Pokémon that can learn Crabhammer by level up. Corphish and Crawdaunt are the other two.
- Unlike its real world counterpart, the female version of Kingler does not have equal sized small claws.
Origin
Kingler is very similar to a fiddler crab, or may be based on the land crab, which both usually have one claw larger than the other, like Kingler does.
Name origin
Kingler's name might be a combination of king and fiddler - both species of crab.
In other languages
- German: Kingler
- French: Krabboss - From crabe (crab) and boss.
