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.
- Despite it being a trait seen only in male fiddler crabs, the sprites of female Kingler also have an enlarged claw.
- 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 are the other two.
- 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. It may be based on the land crab, which usually has 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.
