Bivalves aren't crustaceans, they're mollusks.

but you ignored venipede?

>>26712622
Whirlipede is based on a pill-bug, which are indeed crustaceans :)

Crawdaunt was always my favorite, can't believe I didn't realise sooner that it and Sharpedo share designs as if it were trying to imitate a Sharpedo.
The star on their head, the sunken eyes, and the large tan area on Crawdaunt looks like an open mouth. Not to forget they're both Water/Dark and Crawdaunt has Adaptability.

They're trilobites. Based on the legs and the lack of tail they are trilobites.

Paras is part fungus and part some kind of bug. Bulbapedia says cicada nymph but I think the point is that it's not a crustacean.

Not really.

>>26713210
Claws doesn't make something a crustacean. Crustaceans are segmented with carapaces, have two segments while insects have 3, 6-14 pairs of these limbs, most crustaceans lack antennae though those that have antennae have two pairs, and crustaceans are largely an aquatic-based subphylum with those non-aquatic species being largely dependent on moisture and living in moist environments.

Paras is part fungus and is thus not even a true fucking insect. It's not a crustacean.

>>26713220
Tough call, but I'm inclined to say that for the sake of pokemon they could be crustacean pokemon, but their real life basis is not a crustacean.

>>26713292
>if an animal has a fungal parasite, it's no longer an animal

This is an odd claim, even for you.

>>26713292
Krabby and Kingler have six pairs of limbs, so I guess they're not crustaceans.

>>26713351

it's a bug, all bug-types are bugs by definition. something is either a bug or a crustacean, they can't be both, so dwebble is not a crustacean.

Oh boy, you're gonna trigger that one asshole.

As a Marine Biology fag, I fucking love you people and this thread.

Favorite Crustacean Pokemon would have to be Clawitzer, as Pistol Shrimp are my favorite crustaceans. Not a huge fan of Clauncher, though. Dwebble is a close second.

We should also talk about Crustaceans that need Pokemon counterparts, I'll start:
Arrow crab, spider crab, Pom Pom Crabs, and Mantis Shrimp.

Objectively the worst fossil

The whole cool, attractive point behind Horseshoe crabs is that they're LIVING fossils. They're ancient and outdated yet they still persist today. Kabuto requiring a fossil is the equivalent nonsense of making Relicanth need a fossil.

>>26715447
It is a Trilobite
Like Zanbronze

Clauncher, but I love literally all of them.

>>26712622
Venipede is based on a woodlouse. Woodlice are crustaceans.

It's a trilobite, though.

>>26715553

>>26715317
Unpopular opinion apparently, but I think you could get away with calling Paras a crab that is acting as a host to a parasitic mushroom.
If you look at it in real life terms:
When a Coryceps fungus infects an ant, it is still an ant with a fungus. However the fungus eventually takes over the entire organism and it is a fungus living on the carcas of a dead ant, and therefore no longer a living insect.
See pic.

Because of this I've always considered Paras a terrestrial crab with a parasitic fungus and Parasect a parasitic fungus controlling the corpse of a terrestrial crab.

>>26715868
So it should be a Bug/Fungi type that evolves into a Ghost/Fungi type.

>>26715838
Because it doesn't live in the water.

>>26715868
Same here, that thing has too many crab traits to register as an insect in my head.

>>26715882
Now you're just getting silly.

>>26715882
Crab/Fungi
Fungi/Ghost

>>26715896
Does that mean a Coconut Crab would be a normal-type?

>>26715838

Same reason Dwebble/Crustle is.
They're based on terrestrial crustaceans or arthropods.
Because Dwebble/Crustle are terrestrial hermit crabs.

>>26715945
Then Taurus should be Cattle type, Pikachu should be Rodent/Electric etc. This gets out of hand quickly.

>>26715969
You you niggas is just mammal class.

>>26715955
Nah, they'd probably give it a bug type because it's an animal with an exoskeleton that lives on land. Or slap some other type on it, like making it breathe fire or something.

>>26715985
>Coconut crab

>>26715992
It isn't a coconut though.

>>26715992

>>26715997
This joke is wearing thin.

>>26714934
Mantis shrimp would be the GOATest Pokemon.

>>26715955
It would be either
Bug/Grass
Gras/Water
Or maybe Bug/Water
