Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

Capsukela bury themselves in sand and dirt, leaving only their pincers showing. They strike out at curious people and Pokémon trying to investigate what looks like a Poké Ball left on the ground.

Capsukela have a special protein in their bodies that causes them to fluoresce in certain kinds of light. Some people say that a glowing Capsukela resembles a Premier Ball. The reason for this is a mystery.

Additional Info

A certain road in Accolanto is often traversed by delivery trucks carrying item shipments to the region's Poké Marts and department store. No one's entirely sure what caused one particular truck to have a minor accident and spill its Poké Ball cargo all over the road; no one's entirely sure how a wild female Capsukela found its way into the resulting mess, either. But it did, and since the spilled Poké Balls (so very similar to itty-bitty Capsukela) appear to have put it in a maternal mood, it isn't in a hurry to leave, either. Without a Pokémon of his own the driver is too nervous to try and chase the irascible creature away, or even attempt to find where it's hiding amidst the mounds of Poké Balls. Assuming you could think of a way to locate the Capsukela without getting pinched or wasting time, you could theoretically drive it off or even capture it, and the driver would be able to reload his truck and clear the road...
