Its large jaws are powerful enough to crush boulders. This Pokémon lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|arid deserts}}, and it can go a week without water. It digs into the sand to build its bowl- or cone-shaped nest, where it waits for prey to stumble inside and become trapped. Its natural predator is {{p|Sandile}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* The Trapinch evolutionary line, along with the {{p|Gligar}} evolutionary line, are the only evolutionary families to be in the {{Egg3|Bug}} with no {{type|Bug}} members.
* Trapinch is the only one in its evolutionary line to have a {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}.
* Out of all unevolved Pokémon, Trapinch can learn the most moves by leveling up which its evolutions cannot, excluding Pokémon who evolve via [[evolutionary stones]], such as {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Growlithe}}.
* Trapinch has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Trapinch is able to learn {{m|Gust}} as an [[Egg move]] despite not having any wings. This is likely because its evolutions do have wings.
* Trapinch's base Attack stat is higher than its {{p|Vibrava|evolved form}}'s and is the same as its {{p|Flygon|final evolved form}}'s. That may be a reference to the fact that antlion larvae are more aggressive and predatory than their adult stages.
* Trapinch is the only one in its evolutionary line to have a Hidden Ability.
** It has the highest base Attack stat of all Pokémon that can evolve twice.
* Trapinch having a higher base attack stat than its [[Vibrava (Pokémon)|evolved form]] may be a reference the fact that antlion larvae are more aggressive and predatory than their adult stages.
**Evolving a Trapinch in Pokémon GO will result in the CP going down upon evolution.
* Trapinch and its evolutionary line are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Superpower}} by Move Tutor in Black 2 and White 2 but not Generation IV.
