Pokémon Description

Its large and hard pincer has 10,000-horsepower strength. However, being so big, it is unwieldy to move.

Its oversized claw is very powerful, but when it’s not in battle, the claw just gets in the way.

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.

  I'm feeling lucky!

Kingler 

Kingler is Water-type Pokémon. They were first introduced in Generation I. Kingler evolved from Krabby starting at Level 28. They also have a Gigantamax form. They are found living on the edges of the water.

Characteristics

Kingler is 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 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 can pry 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 has a larger and spikier appearance. Three red clouds are floating around their crown spikes. Their left pincer can destroy anything it hits. The bubbles it releases are very alkaline. 

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