CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Pincurchin feeds on seaweed attached to rocks. It tears it off with sharp teeth while electric current flows at the tips of its spines. Each spine can retain a charge even after detaching from its body. The Pokédex says a lost spine then continues emitting electricity for three hours. This little Pokémon therefore combines a precise feeding method and a persistent defense on the same rocks.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

A detached Pincurchin spine can still produce current for three hours, Pokémon Shield notes. Pokémon Sword says its teeth scrape seaweed from rocks; the electricity, meanwhile, emerges from the tips of its spines.
