Corphish (Japanese: ヘイガニ Heigani) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III. It is a red-shelled, crustacean Pokémon with a short tail similar to a lobster. Corphish has saucer-like eyes, three spikes on its head, and four pairs of limbs: two large pincers for gripping prey and three pairs of legs for walking. The upper segments of its legs, the underside of its body, and lower halves of its pincers are cream-colored. Corphish is known for its hardy nature, able to live in polluted water and eat almost anything. While not native to Alola, Corphish released by Trainers have thrived there. It is known for its strong pincers, which it uses to grip prey and never let go. Corphish evolves into Crawdaunt starting at level 30. In the anime, Ash Ketchum also owned a Corphish as part of his team during his travels in the Hoenn region.
