07 //Pokédex entries
This Pokémon clamps its pincers down on its prey and then either splits the prey in half or flings it away.
These Pokémon judge one another based on pincers. Thicker, more impressive pincers make for more popularity with the opposite gender.
Grips its prey in its pincers and squeezes hard! It can’t move if it’s cold out, so it lives in warm places.
Although it’s tough, it can’t handle cold well. When night falls, it buries itself in leafage and sleeps.
It gets into territorial disputes with Vikavolt. For some reason, it apparently gets along well with Heracross in Alola.
One solid blow from its horns is enough to split apart a large tree. Its greatest rival in Alola is Vikavolt.
