Corphish (JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name introduced in the third generation. It is a Water type Pokémon that evolves into Crawdaunt starting at level 30.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Corphish is a red-shelled, crustacean Pokémon with a short tail similar to a lobster. Its eyes are saucer-like with small pupils, and it has three spikes on top of its head. It possesses four pairs of limbs in total: two large pincers used for gripping prey, and three pairs of legs used for walking. The upper segments of its legs, the underside of its body, and lower halves of its pincers are cream-colored.
A hardy creature, Corphish is able to live in polluted water and eat nearly anything. Though not native to Alola, Corphish set free by Trainers there have easily adapted and thrived in the region. Feebas and Corphish are the only Pokémon known to be able to live in stagnant ditches. Corphish and its evolved form Crawdaunt are the only known Pokémon that do not flee when a swarm of Basculin appears in the lake it lives in.

Trivia[]
- Corphish is the only Pokémon with a catch rate of 205.
- Corphish can be found in the Hoenn region, but its Pokédex entries claim it came from another region overseas. This would make it the first exotic species in the Pokémon world.
- Corphish's tendency to say "Hey, hey!" in such games as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is a reference to its Japanese name "Heigani".
