Pokédex Entries
Generation 1
| RedBlue | If it fails to crush the victim in its pincers, it will swing it around and toss it hard. |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Grips its prey in its pincers and squeezes hard! It can't move if it's cold, so it lives in warm places. |

| Crystal | When the tempera ture drops at night, it sleeps on treetops or among roots where it is well hidden. |

|---|---|
| FireRedLeafGreen | Its two long pincer horns are powerful. Once they grip an enemy, they won’t release until the foe is torn. |
Generation 4

|---|---|

| Ultra Sun | It gets into territorial disputes with Vikavolt. For some reason, it apparently gets along well with Heracross in Alola. |
