Plan this partner in PokéBonk

This analysis describes the Krabby League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.

Krabby's strike bonus and periodic stronger, stunning hit reward a focused melee plan. Kingler triggers that payoff more often, and the pincer Ultimate adds targeted pressure.

Trade-off: Reaching targets safely is the cost; armor alone does not solve close-range exposure.

Passive: Giant Pincer

Ultimate progression: Scissor Cut / Abyssal Guillotine

Curated kit: Vise Grip (Lv. 1) · Liquidation (Lv. 2) · Crabhammer (Lv. 4) · Guillotine (Lv. 7)

Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
