Can Krabby learn Hyper Beam?
Despite the fact that Kingler could not learn Hyper Beam as a Krabby and had never demonstrated the ability to use it previously in the battle, which was against the same opponent who had caused it to evolve in the first place, Ash ordered Kingler to use it against Mandi's Golbat. He was able to do so without any problem. Krabby can learn all of the moves that Kingler knows, including Hyper Beam. However, unlike its brother who uses Hyper Beam constantly, Krabby only uses it when necessary. It has been shown to use Hyper Beam on two occasions: once when fighting Mandi's Golbat and again when facing off against Tracey's Electivire. Even then, it used only one beam on each occasion. Electivire is capable of detecting hidden objects using their electric fields, which allows her to use them as weapons. She can charge up electricity in her body to fire powerful electro balls at her opponents. This ability is useful in combat because it allows her to attack from a distance or avoid being attacked herself. Electro Ball is an effective method of attack because it can damage both land and water-based Pokémon. However, due to its limited supply of energy, she can use it only twice before needing to recharge herself. Tracey's mother, Sarah, is a Technician type trainer in Cerise's team.
