Crawkarp is extremely aggressive, sizing up and flapping its frills at any lone Pokémon it finds. They mainly see it as a small nuisance, as any attack will cause it to run in terror.
Crawkarp is most vulnerable when it is molting, as its soft body makes it an easy snack for predators. It relies on nearby Corphish and Crawdaunt, who share the same molting season, to scare away predators.
Highly territorial, Crawkarp often starts fights despite its small and immobile claws, leading it to lose frequently. If it can't stand its ground, it relocates its nest to polluted waters where it lacks competition.
