-{{nihongo|'''Corphish'''|ヘイガニ||'''Heigani''' in original [[Japanese language]] versions}} are one of the {{pokenum}} fictional species of [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon creatures]] from the [[Japan]]ese ''[[Pokémon]]'' [[media franchise]]. Corphish debuted in [[2002 in video gaming|2002]] in the Japanese versions of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'']]. In all aspects of the franchise, Corphish, as with all other Pokémon, are used to [[Pokémon game mechanics#Pokémon battles|battle]] both wild, untamed Pokémon and tamed Pokémon owned by [[Pokémon trainer]]s.<ref> [http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/389/389660p1.html ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Pokémon Sapphire'' Review (page 1)] ''Ign.com''. Retrieved on [[March 3]], [[2007]].</ref>
-The exact etymology of its English name is unclear, though it may be a [[portmanteau]] of either ''[[corporal]]'' or ''[[corps#Military formation|corps]]'' and ''[[crayfish]]''. Its Japanese name ''Heigani'' is similarly a portmanteau of the Japanese words for {{nihongo|''soldier''|兵士|heishi}} and {{nihongo|''crayfish''|ザリガニ|zarigani}}. The name ''Corphish'' refers to the species as a whole, as well as to individual specimens in the games, anime, manga, trading cards, and other media.
-== Biological characteristics ==
-Corphish's appearance takes after real [[crustacean]]s such as the [[crayfish]] and [[lobster]]. Its shell is red, with a pale underbelly. It has three pairs of scuttlers, and two large [[pincer]]s. On top of its head, it has three spikes. It looks very similar to [[Krabby]], which is a Pokémon based on a general [[crab]].
-According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, Corphish is not indigenous to the [[Hoenn|Hoenn region]], but to a landmass overseas. It was introduced to Hoenn as an exotic [[pet]], but the species ended up familiarising itself so much that it now forms part of the local [[ecosystem]].
-Corphish is a hardy and durable Pokémon. Much like [[Rattata]], it can thrive almost under any condition. It can make its nest even in polluted water, and it will make a meal out of anything available, taking the term [[omnivore]] to extremes.
-== In the video games ==
-Corphish are featured in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'']] of the [[Pokémon (video games)|Pokémon video game series]]. Originally in Japanese, but later translated into other languages, the games have sold over 143&nbsp;million copies worldwide.<ref>"[http://web.archive.org/web/20050314021722/http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazine/99/1122/pokemon6.fullinterview1.html The Ultimate Game Freak: Interview with Satoshi Tajiri]", ''TimeAsia.com'' URL Accessed [[July 12]], [[2006]] ([[Waybacked]]).</ref>
-Corphish can be found in ''[[Pokémon Ruby]]'', ''[[Pokémon Sapphire|Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]''. It can be caught by a fishing rod in Routes 102, 117 and in the waters of [[List of Hoenn locations#Petalburg City|Petalburg City]].
-Even though as a Water-type Pokémon Corphish is more dependent on its special attack stat, its physical attack attribute is much higher, while its speed and special defense are extremely low. Corphish learns mostly Water-type attacks naturally, including the novelty Crabhammer attack. It can be taught various physical moves, like Sludge Bomb, Body Slam and Ancientpower. It also learns Swords Dance on its own, which can greatly boost its already high attack.
-For those who are impatient with raising Corphish to learn moves and can trade it to Fire Red or Leaf Green. That way Corphish would learn most of its moves faster, one level before it normally would in Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald except for Guillotine which Corphish would learn at level 46.  At 43 Corphish learns crunch instead thus making Fire Red and Leaf Green a better basis for Corphish to be on instead of the Hoenn basis. Corphish evolves into Crawdaunt at lvl 30.
-== In the Pokémon anime ==
-Corphish is one of the Pokémon that [[Ash (Pokémon)|Ash]] has in his travelling team. He caught in it episode #299 (Gone Corphishin') and kept it in his team throughout the rest of his travels in [[Hoenn]] and the entire [[Battle Frontier]] challenge in [[Kanto (Pokémon)|Kanto]]. Corphish is friendly, but does not realize its own strength; it often ends up flinging Ash away while expressing its affection to him. Corphish is also short-tempered, and often tries to instigate a fight when peaceful solutions exist, and also gets jealous when one of Ash's Pokemon evolve, since it wants Ash's attention. This may be why Corphish is the only one of Ash's Generation 3 Pokémon that has not evolved that can evolve ([[Torkoal]] being this exception, which can't evolve). One time Corphish eats some of May's [[Torchic]]'s food and [[Torchic]] starts crying and they get into a big fight that lasts the whole day untill Torchic evloves into a [[Combusken]] while battling a group of pokemon
