    This is still the only Krabby that Arita has illustrated. He wouldn’t illustrate a Kingler card until Great Encounters in Gen 4. 👀

    It looks like this is actually the debut of the Vicegrip attack in the TCG! NOA decided to translate the attack はさむ as Vicegrip, WOTC decided to translate it as Irongrip, and as per the comments on BRS Klink, it’ll take over 2 decades for the English video games and English edition of the TCG to be on the exact same page with respect to the name of the attack.
