Lobstrike (Northern)

Overview

Lobstrike (Northern) is the northern regional form of Lobstrike, recorded as Animon No. 080 in the in-game index. It is a Chakra Type creature carrying the Mestus Attribute, and it is found only in the northern half of Talea, the region of Logos. The southern form shares the same index number but differs in typing, attribute, evolution and temperament, so the two are worth treating as separate creatures when you build a team.

Northern Lobstrike spend their lives refining one idea: take the hit, absorb the impact through the claws, then answer with a counter fast enough to end the exchange. The frustrating part, for them, is how rarely anything in the north can give them a real match.

Type and Weaknesses

LumenTale sets weaknesses and resistances per species rather than from a single fixed chart, and you read them by scanning a creature in battle. See Type Effectiveness Explained for how scanning works and Hidden Types Explained for how a second element factors into damage.

Scanning a Lobstrike (Northern) in battle reports it as weak to Aura and Geo. Its hidden Electric element widens that spread, so a lead that only covers its primary type will often come up short.

Evolution Line

Lobstrike (Northern) is not part of an evolution line. Neither regional form evolves, so whatever you catch is the final stage. See All Evolutions Guide for the species that do branch.

Locations

Every one of these sits in the northern half of the map, which is the practical reason the southern form never shows up alongside it. Use the Interactive Map: All Animon Locations to pin down exact spawn points, and see How to Catch Animon for the catching loop itself.

Game Data

Height and weight are the ranges the in-game index records across individuals. The single published figures for this form, 1.6 m and 74.5 kg, sit inside those ranges.

Northern Lobstrike dedicate their lives to perfecting their fighting technique: taking blows, absorbing the impact with their claws, and then delivering a lightning-fast counterattack. Sadly, they are often unable to find an opponent that can match their skills.

Northern and Southern Forms Compared

The southern form is a brawler that throws itself into any fight going, spectators included. It turns up around Area 13, Area 15 and Costa Linda. Like the northern form, it has no evolution. Which half of Talea you commit to after Out of Ideas therefore decides which of the two you meet first; see Should You Go North or South?.
