Read more ↓Kingler, the Pincer Pokémon, is a Water-type creature known for its formidable, oversized claw. It evolves from Krabby starting at level 28 and was first introduced in the Generation I games, Pokémon Red and Blue. Kingler's natural habitat is typically coastal areas, including beaches and rocky shores, where it can be found digging burrows in the sand. Its diet primarily consists of smaller aquatic organisms, which it adeptly catches and crushes with its powerful pincer. Kingler's behavior is characterized by its territorial nature and its tendency to engage in fierce battles with other Kingler or larger Pokémon to assert dominance. In the games, Kingler is often seen as a physically strong Water-type, while in the anime, Ash's Kingler showcased its power in the Pokémon League, highlighting its battle prowess. Its massive claw, which can deliver incredible crushing force, is a significant aspect of its cultural significance, symbolizing raw power and an unyielding grip.
