Pokédex entries by game

Descriptions recorded in these games. This list does not establish where the Pokémon can be caught or transferred.

Ruby

TRAPINCH’s nest is a sloped, bowl-like pit dug in sand. This POKéMON patiently waits for prey to tumble down the pit. Its giant jaws have enough strength to crush even boulders.

Sapphire

TRAPINCH is a patient hunter. It digs an inescapable pit in a desert and waits for its prey to come tumbling down. This POKéMON can go a whole week without access to any water.

Emerald

Its big jaws crunch through boulders. Because its head is so big, it has a hard time getting back upright if it tips over onto its back.

Firered · Leafgreen · X

It lives in arid deserts. It makes a sloping pit trap in sand where it patiently awaits prey.

Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White

It makes a conical pit in desert sand and lies in wait at the bottom for prey to come tumbling down.

Heartgold · Soulsilver · Sword

Its nest is a sloped, bowl-like pit in the desert. Once something has fallen in, there is no escape.

Black 2 · White 2 · Y · Shield

It makes an inescapable conical pit and lies in wait at the bottom for prey to come tumbling down.

Omega Ruby

Alpha Sapphire

Trapinch is a patient hunter. It digs an inescapable pit in a desert and waits for its prey to come tumbling down. This Pokémon can go a whole week without access to any water.

Sun

It can live for a week without eating a thing. It waits patiently at the bottom of its nest for prey to appear.

Moon

As it digs through the sand, its giant jaws crush any rocks that obstruct its path. It builds a funnel-shaped nest.

Ultra Sun

Its jaws are strong enough to crush rocks but so heavy that it can’t get up if it flips over. Sandile seize those moments as their chance.

Ultra Moon

It builds nests that double as traps, lying in wait for its prey to get caught. When night falls, it digs itself a spot beneath the sand to sleep.
