Crabrawler
Crabrawler is a Fighting type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7.
Crabrawler has a personality that really hates to lose, and it's driven not only to aim for a higher position than its fellows in terms of social standing, but literally to aim for a higher position in the landscape.
Crabrawler punches the trunks of trees to give the branches a good shake and knock any ripe Berries to the ground so it can feast.

Pokédex entries
| Sun | While guarding its weak points with its pincers, it looks for an opening and unleashes punches. When it loses, it foams at the mouth and faints. |
|---|---|
| Moon | It punches so much, its pincers often come off from overuse, but they grow back quickly. What little meat they contain is rich and delicious. |
| Ultra Sun | Its hard pincers are well suited to both offense and defense. Fights between two Crabrawler are like boxing matches. |
| Ultra Moon | Crabrawler has been known to mistake Exeggutor for a coconut tree and climb it. The enraged Exeggutor shakes it off and stomps it. |
| Scarlet | This Pokémon punches trees and eats the berries that drop down, training itself and getting food at the same time. |
| Violet | If it loses its pincers, they’ll quickly regrow. The pincers are popular ingredients in paella since their shells produce a tasty soup stock. |
