Read more ↓Trapinch is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III, hailing from the Hoenn region. It is the first stage in a three-stage evolution line, evolving into Vibrava at level 35, and then into the powerful Flygon at level 45. Trapinch is known for its formidable jaws, which are strong enough to crush boulders, and its unique hunting strategy. It digs a conical pit in desert sands, waiting patiently at the bottom for unsuspecting prey to tumble in. Its diet consists mainly of small insects and other desert-dwelling Pokémon that fall into its trap. In the games, Trapinch is often found in arid, sandy areas like the Desert Underpass or the Mirage Tower. In the anime, it has appeared in episodes showcasing its trapping abilities and its eventual evolution. Despite its small size, Trapinch plays a crucial role in its desert ecosystem, helping to control insect populations. Its design, based on the antlion larva, highlights its predatory nature and its clever hunting method, making it a memorable early-stage Pokémon for trainers exploring the Hoenn region.
