      Krabby is literally just a crab. Even the crab emoji looks like Krabby! 👉 🦀

      And no, it doesn’t do anything notable in PvE, whether in Raids or Gyms. 😅

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup

      Krabby has an exceptionally high ATK for a Little Cup Pokémon, but unfortunately, this comes at the cost of its bulk being significantly reduced. 😕

      Additionally, its Charged MovesRazor Shell and Vise Griplack burst damage, which would have helped Krabby secure KOs more easily.

      Outside of the Little Cup, Krabby has absolutely zero value in the Great, Ultra, and Master League. 👎
