COCANCER bury themselves in the sand and are indistinguishable from ordinary palm trees. When prey walks by, they leap out with surprising speed and crush it with massive claws.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Cocancer is a large crustacean Pokémon with a palm tree growing from its back. Its back is covered in sand and has several shells and beach detritus on it. Its underbelly is green and it has six legs that resemble palm tree trunks. Its massive claws are colored like coconuts. It has two eyes suspended on eye stalks.
Special Abilities[]
Cocancer bury themselves in the sand and wait for prey to pass by, at which point they strike with astonishing speed. Their trees are photosynthetic and allow them to get energy from the sun to heal themselves. Their claws are capable of applying massive crushing pressure.
Behavior[]
In battle they tend to be defensive, relying on their hard armor and massive claws to shield themselves from blows.
Habitat[]
Cocancer are found in beach areas, where they can dig themselves in the sand and pretend to be an ordinary palm tree.
There appears to be two starfish resembling Staryu and a shell resembles Shellder clinging onto Cocancer.
Cocancer is tied with Feliger for having the lowest base Special Attack Stat of all fully-evolved Pokémon in Pokémon Uranium.
The Cocaran line (Sp ATK), in addition to the Xenomite evolution line (ATK), are the only Pokemon part of a 3 stage line that have a base stat which never increases.
Design Origin[]
Cocancer is based on a crab and a beach island, complete with a palm tree.
The Halloween Cocancer is based on a crab and a pumpkin instead.
Name Origin[]
