Trapinch (Japanese: ナックラー Nuckrar) is a Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into Vibrava starting at level 35, which evolves into Flygon starting at level 45.

Biology

Trapinch is an orange, insectoid Pokémon. It has a round body with a white underside and four stumpy legs. It also has a proportionally large head, small black eyes with twinkle-shaped pupils, and a zigzagging mouth.

Trapinch's large jaws are powerful enough to crush boulders. It lives in arid deserts, and it can go a week without water. Instead of actively hunting prey, it digs into the sand to build its bowl- or cone-shaped nests, where it waits for prey to stumble inside and become trapped. The weight of this Pokémon's large head makes Trapinch move slower but becomes vulnerable after falling or rolling into their backs. Its natural predator is Sandile.

Trivia

  • Trapinch is the only one in its evolutionary family to have a Hidden Ability.
  • Trapinch has the lowest base Speed stat of all Ground-type Pokémon.
  • Trapinch's base Attack stat is higher than that of its evolved form and is the same as that of its final evolved form. That may be a reference to the fact that antlion larvae are more aggressive and predatory than their adult stages.
    • It also has the highest base Attack stat of all Pokémon that can evolve twice.
  • Evolving a Trapinch in Pokémon GO will result in the CP going down upon evolution.
  • As of Generation VIII, Trapinch and its evolved forms are the only Pokémon that are in the Bug and Dragon Egg Groups.

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
On the Origin of Species: Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon

Trapinch is based on the larval stage of the antlion, which live in conical sandy pits before maturing into winged adults.

Name origin

Trapinch is a combination of trap (describing traps it uses to catch prey) and pinch (referring to its powerful jaws).

Nuckrar may be a contraction of nutcracker, referencing its nutcracker-like jaws. Nuckrar may also be a play on the word "knucker", a type of folkloric dragon which lives in a hole.
