Description: A large crab Pokémon, Kingler is colored the same as its previous stage, Krabby. It has additional spikes atop its head that form a crown, and it is considerably larger. Its claws have grown as well, with the left claw disproportionately larger than the right. Found often on the shoreline of oceans, Kingler use their incredibly strong claws to pry open the shells of Cloyster and Shellder. Although it mostly relies on its larger, left claw to attack opponents and to communicate with other Kingler, this claw is almost too heavy for it to lift and will tire Kingler out.
