Crawdaunt (Japanese: シザリガー Shizariger) is a dual-type Water/Dark Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Corphish starting at level 30.

Biology

Crawdaunt is a primarily red, crustacean Pokémon with a tan underside. It has circular eyes set in deep sockets and a large, star-shaped growth on its forehead. The upper and lower halves of its underside are separated by a pattern of angular red shapes, and there are two blue stripes on its throat. Its forelimbs have two large pincers with spiked edges and tan lower halves form. There are two sets of hind limbs. The foremost pair are simple claws with two spikes, while the rear pair are large and thick with two white claws. A yellow triangle marks the base of its lobster-like tail.

Crawdaunt is a very violent Pokémon that lives in ponds. Because of its constant challenges to battle, no other Pokémon wants to inhabit its territory. Not even a swarm of Basculin will drive Crawdaunt away. Any that do venture too close are tossed out of its pond with its pincers. An experienced Crawdaunt will be covered in scars from countless battles. However, it must molt regularly and its shell is soft immediately after. Once its pincers fall off, Crawdaunt turns timid until they grow back. In order to protect itself, it burrows under stream beds until its new shell hardens. Unlike the meat found in the claws of Crabrawler and Clauncher, Crawdaunt's have foul smell and taste. Crawdaunt are known to be extremely difficult to raise.

Evolution

Crawdaunt evolves from Corphish.

Trivia

• Crawdaunt is the only Pokémon with a catch rate of 155.

Origin

While Crawdaunt's name and appearance suggest that it is based on a red swamp crayfish (with its aggressive behavior reminiscent of the species' hardiness and status as an invasive species), it seems to bear a heavier resemblance to the lobster, given its larger size. Crawdaunt's ability to learn the move Dragon Dance may come from the literal meaning of the word "lobster" in Chinese, which is 龙虾 Lóngxiā (dragon shrimp). Based on the stars and stripes seen on Crawdaunt, as well as Corphish's name, it is possible that Crawdaunt has a military motif with the star and stripes resembling uniform insignias often used to indicate enlisted ranks, potentially that of a higher ranked member of a marine corp.

Crawdaunt's shell may be based on batesian mimicry in association with Sharpedo, as it resembles an open shark mouth with a star on the nose. This star on Crawdaunt's head looks like a starfish.

Name origin

Crawdaunt may be a combination of crawdad or crawfish (alternate names for a crayfish) and daunt (to cause to lose courage) or taunt.

Shizariger may be a combination of シザー shizā (scissors) and 蝲蛄 zarigani (crayfish).
