⚡ What Pinch Pocket does
Every 6 minutes 18 seconds at base weight, the Crab walks to a random player, pinches them and gives you 225 to 425 Sheckles. The pinched player doesn't lose anything. The wiki notes it will still pinch a player standing up high, from below.
It's small money early on, but both numbers grow with no cap, and the cooldown shrinks a lot with weight.
