Krabby by game version

Shield

If it senses danger approaching, it cloaks itself with bubbles from its mouth so it will look bigger.

Sword

It can be found near the sea. The large pincers grow back if they are torn out of their sockets.

Lets Go Eevee

Its pincers are superb weapons. They sometimes break off during battle, but they grow back fast.

Adamant

Adamant is the safer pick if you still want some Speed outside Trick Room.
