Abilities

- Hyper-Cutter
  This Pokémon's Attack cannot be lowered by other Pokémon. This ability does not prevent any Attack losses other than stat modifiers, such as the Attack cut from a burn. This Pokémon can still be passed negative Attack modifiers through heart swap or power swap.
- Shell-Armor
  Moves cannot score critical hits against this Pokémon. This ability functions identically to battle armor.

Hidden Abilities

- Sheer-Force
  This Pokémon's moves with extra effects have 1.3× their power, but lose their extra effects. An effect chance is a move's chance to inflict a status ailment, cause a stat change, or make the target flinch in addition to the move's main effect. For example, thunder shock's paralysis is an extra effect, but thunder wave's is not, nor are knock off's item removal and air cutter's increased critical hit rate. Moves that lower the user's stats are unaffected.

Characteristics

Kingler are crustacean Pokémon. They resemble crabs. They have a strong shell covering their body and feature a red upper half. Their lower half is lightly tanned. Their upper half has six thin, tall spikes that resemble a crown.

Their lightly tanned arms are connected to their bodies. They have six fangs in total. Two of them are located outside, and the rest are inside their mouths. The outer fangs are half as tall as Kingler’s body.

They have four thin legs. Each leg has a single claw-like foot. Their most notable feature is their orange pincers. They weigh around 60 kilograms or 132.3 pounds. They are 1.3 meters tall.

Their claws are very powerful.

They have 10,000 horsepower and are capable of prying open the shells of Colyster and Shellder. Their left claw is their main attacking tool. Unfortunately, their left claw is so big and heavy that Kingler can barely lift it, and it causes balancing problems.

It often leads Kingler to become fatigued. They communicate with other Kingler by waving their pincers around. Crabhammer used to be their signature move.

Gigantamax Kingler have a larger and spikier appearance. There are three red clouds floating around their crown spikes. Their left pincer can destroy anything it hits. The bubbles it releases are very alkaline.

If an opponent is struck by these bubbles, they quickly melt away. Their claw-like feet are orange and much straighter. Their arms also grow longer as a result of Gigantamaxing.
