Trapinch

Trapinch is a Ground-type Pokémon first introduced in the Generation III games, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Known for its distinctive large, powerful jaws and ant lion-inspired design, Trapinch is the first stage in a three-part evolutionary line.

Type: Ground

Abilities: - Hyper Cutter: This ability prevents Trapinch's Attack stat from being lowered by opposing Pokémon. - Arena Trap: This ability prevents opposing Pokémon from fleeing or switching out during battle as long as Trapinch is on the field. - Hidden Ability (Sheer Force): This ability boosts the power of Trapinch's moves that have additional effects, but those effects are removed. For instance, moves like Rock Slide would deal extra damage, but no longer have a chance to flinch the opponent.

Interesting Facts: - Evolution: Trapinch evolves into Vibrava at level 35, and then Vibrava evolves into Flygon starting at level 45. This evolutionary line transitions from Ground
