Trivia
- Kingler has one claw much larger than the other, but in the Red/Blue sprite they are the same size and width. However, this may be due to Kingler holding one claw closer than the other.
- With the exception of the afformentioned Red/Blue sprite, Kingler's left claw (right to viewers') is always the larger of the two, however, in Kingler's Generation I back sprite, the claws are reversed. Its right claw becomes the bigger one.
- 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 and its pre-evolution Krabby are two of the four Pokémon that can learn Crabhammer by level up (Corphish and Crawdaunt being the other two Pokémon).
- With a base attack of 130, Kingler has the highest attack stat of any Template:Type2 Pokémon.
Origin
Kingler is very similar to a fiddler crab.
Name origin
Kingler's name might be a combination of king and fiddler - both species of crab.
