Crabrawler is a crustacean pokémon that resembles a crab. Its shell is purple, covering its yellow, striped body, and can be broken into four parts: two plain plates at its sides, each with a round, shoulder-like joint in the front, a plain plate on the back of its head, and a plate with blue stripes covering its lower back and abdomen. The plates don't meet all the way on its back, leaving a small, "V"-shaped opening. It has a purple face, featuring two purple antenulles and two oval eyes with blue eyelids, one of which is usually half-closed, as if it was a black eye. Over its eyes, there is a long, pompadour-like, yellow antenna with a split end. It has three pairs of legs: the foremost one connects to the shoulder-like joints, is not covered by a shell, and ends in large, blue pincers resembling boxing gloves, while the remaining pairs are shorter, have only the joints exposed, and end in a blue tip.
Crabrawler is described as fiercely competitive, always striving to be at the top, both in terms of social standing and a physically high position. It can be found clinging to buildings or even tall people and pokémon, resorting to violence if someone attempts to remove it from its perch. In battle, it uses its hard pincers for both defensive and offensive purposes, guarding its head and stomach while closing in on opponents to deal powerful blows, capable of splitting tree trunks. They may break off from overuse, but new ones grow back quickly. The detached pincers have known uses in human culinary, such as in paellas, and the small amount of meat in them is said to be rich and delicious. In the event that Crabrawler loses a battle, its mouth will foam before it faints.
Berries are Crabrawler's favorite food, so it shakes trees off with a punch in order to knock down ripe ones. In order to eat, many Crabrawler may gather around a tree and compete for the Berries, but only the last one standing is afforded the privilege. The battles between two Crabrawler are said to resemble boxing matches. It has also been known to prey on Exeggcute and mistake Alolan Exeggutor for coconut trees.
