That's fucking retarded, types never required anything to be generated except in the anime. Also just because it's not a water type wouldn't mean it'd have no way to generate water in the first place, Emboar can learn Scald you retard.

Steel type moves don't produce metal, grass type moves don't necessarilly produce grass, flying type moves sure as fuck don't produce flying, and many other fucking examples.
A move's type is just a matter of affinity, and origin, Crabrawler might not be a water type but it's pretty darn obviously related to some water types, it just adapted differently and lost the type but kept some of the affinities, you'd think with the introduction of Alolan formes morons like you would understand that there's more to a pokémon's moves than its type.

>The target is hammered with a large pincer. Critical hits land more easily.

The first crab pokemon was aquatic, so they gave it a signature move with STAB.

Now they are introducing another crab pokemon, this one is not aquatic. Of course they are going to give it crabhammer. It's not hard to understand.

Type coverage
>>
>>28224225
Pokemon's been setting a precendent for not basing typing off a creature's real-life habitat for a while now.

It was especially an issue for Water types for a long type, because there's a fuckton of creatures from the ocean and having to saddle them with a water typing massively limits the design space.

I recently redesigned all of poemon to use 40 types rather than 18, and splitting the Water typing into Swimming and Spray types solves the problem nicely.

coconut crabs drown in water
they are land animals
>>
>>28225546
Why isn't it called Crab-likehammer, apparently the crab bit is loose but the water typing is unshakeable
>>
>>28225515
Why should it only be for water types? Move distribution changes each gen. Crabrawler is a crab and Crab Hammer apparently only requires the user to just have pincers to be used. Things change and GF doesn't always follow a pattern.

Bug = creepy crawlies, not insects

>>28225091
completely forgot this thing existed
>>
>>28225493
It isn't a bad thing that spiders and bugs are grouped there, just something incorrect in pokemon that doesn't really matter.
Mammal type when

>>28225562
I'm a land animal but I'm always drowning in the pussy.
>>
>>28225537
What gameplay reason do they have for not making Crabrawler Water type? That's making it WORSE during gameplay because it doesn't even get STAB for one of it's main attacks.
>>
>>28225582
There is a scientific definition of bug, which excludes most insects as well as spiders
>>
>>28225515

Hmm, I wonder who is right about what Pokemon should and shouldn't learn, the creators of Pokemon, or some random autist whining on the internet

Ok I'll come clean. I don't use THAT exact moveset. I was kidding. But I was joking about how I use him. I keep moves like fire spin on him since it is boosted by the binding band and keeps the niggas from switching.

>>28225599
>You've missed my point

Okay, why isn't lucario ground type if it learns bone rush?
>>
>>28225642
*wasn't
>>
>>28225615

>Bug: an insect or other creeping or crawling invertebrate (as a spider or centipede)

They're obviously not going for the scientific definition, how hard is it to understand?
>>
>>28225658
How often do you see a Lucario using that? Also, it already has two types.
>>
>>28225599
>pure fighting type with water type coverage
I don't see the issue. Most ingame fighting types get by with fighting/rock coverage, and they don't get stab off rock type moves.
>>
>>28225599
How is crab hammer one of its main attacks? Having a varied move pool is a very good thing, even if it doesn't get STAB.
>>
>>28225674
Can you define what a main attack is? Because it seems to be something you've puled out of your ass

I'd go through a list of pokemon that are single typed that use non-Stab moves, but to make it easier just find a list of single type pokemon and look at all of them
>>
>>28225680
There's no reason for it not to gain Water type though, it's a crab and it learns Crabhammer. Just let it get STAB from it. It being a coconut crab is irrelevant as ostriches or whatever Doduo is based on can't fly yet Doduo can.

no
>>

Actually fuck it I'll give you one

Unown has a main attack, because it has one attack

Anon could you please tell us all it's type?
>>
>>28225664
My point was that gamefreak falls for misconceptions just like everyone else, not that they should be scientifically pedantic and type their pokemon for exclusively factual reasons
>>
>>28225707
Crabhammer is ONLY for Water, crab-like Pokemon. I'm not talking about any other Pokemon's main or STAB moves. Go fuck yourself.
>>
why are so many people in this thread retarded
>>
>>28224586
Accelgor was designed as a water-type, but was changed to different during development to make the game less lopsided with water-types. Similar to Stunfisk, the one following it in dex. And just like how Stunfisk gets Camouflage to thrive in a water environment, Accelgor gets Hydration and dex entries note how it gets weaker when it dries out.
>>
>>28225737
Normal. I don't see a problem. Hidden Power is given to too many Pokemon for it to be Psychic or whatever. Crabhammer is ONLY for Water crab-like Pokemon.
>>
>>28225758
You still haven't explained why that's the case though, we can clearly see a not Water type crab using it

And you're the one that keeps invoking STAB, and if we can't discuss over pokemon how can we determine a precedent

Uh... Do you have an example of one that can't?
>slugma
Oh, this is bait.
>>
>>28225796
Why
>>
>>28224674
Same reason Lick is a ghost type move. It was the signature move of a mon with that type.
>>
>>28225298
Crabs are crustaceans, idiot.
>>
>>28225809
I'm only bringing up STAB as one reason Crabrawler should be Water. If it wants to be pure Fighting I don't give a fuck, it's jist stupid that it's pure Fighting when it could get STAB from Crabhammer.
>>
>>28225868
Why isn't it rock? Could get stab from one of it's main attacks stone edge

If you don't give a fuck why make a thread and reply to everyone in it?
>>
>>28225858
You do not know your biology well. They are also arachnids. Do your research. Don't start shit if you do not know what you are talking about, moron.

Bug-type means "arthropod that isn't seafood" (Kabuto, Krabby, Corphish, Binacle, etc). Flygon's line have bug-like characteristics and can beed with the bug breeding group, but are more like reptiles that mimic the antlion's lifecycle.
>>
>>28225890
Why even give it a move for only Water crabs then? It's not my thread. The others are though, and I'm asking why won't gamefreak just make it Water so it can get STAB on Crabhammer?
>>
>>28225965

>Why even give it a move for only Water crabs then?

Because it's not a move for only Water crabs, according to Game Freak.
>>
>>28225965
>>28224400
>>
>>28225986
What was stopping them from making it Water type then?

>It's a coconut crab
is not an excuse
>>
>>28225923
Only Horseshoecrabs, which are not real crabs.
>>
>>28226013
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO FUCKING SAY IT? Any Pokemon that learns Crabhammer might as well be a crab in the Pokemon world.
>>
>>28225965
Fucking hell, stop making up this retarded rule where only water crabs can learn it

That is just something you've decided, there is no evidence for that at all and the typing has been repeatably explained. Yet you still just keep parroting this without humouring anyone with your bound to be retarded explanation why you know better than Game Freak what can learn what

This is like talking to an underage brick wall
>>
>>28226020
How is that not an excuse? Coconut Crabs aren't aquatic.
>>
>>28226053
And any Pokemon that can learn Wood Hammer might as well be made out of wood in the Pokemon world, right?

Fighting type may as well be water in the pokemon world

He's a crab that fights, not a crab that waters.

No, it is just a Fight, not a crab.

Nothing, save that they didn't want to make it a Water-type. Is there a problem?
>>
>>28226106
I think most pokemon can swim, should they all be water types?
>>
>>28226134
Yes, because now it doesn't get STAB from Crabhammer all because they want unique and speshull types and Pokemon. Have fun with your no STAB Crabhammers from a crab Pokemon.

>>28226183

Okay, I will.

I have, it's just a bunch of whining about STAB as though you've never seen a single move list and this retarded rule you've made up about "water crabs"

tl;dr: Gamefreak should make Crabrawler water type because it annoys me.

What the fuck Game Freak? Drill Peck is a move for FLYING birds, please change it's typing now to appease my autism

Empoleon already has two types. Crabrawler learns a move ONLY for WATER, CRAB-LIKE Pokemon yet it's pure Fighting. It won't even get STAB from Crabhammer.

>>28226299
Holy fuck are you ever going to explain the basis for your retarded rule? Do you really want them to change the type of it despite being based off a creature that drowns in water just because of one move?
>>
Why are you dumbasses taking this shitty bait
>>
>>28226284
Don't you know? Penguins are a kind of bird that doesn't fly. It actually makes sense for a penguin pokemon to not be flying type.
>>
>>28226341
And Coconut Crabs are a type of crab that can't swim, you kinda missed my point bud

>>28226299

Delibird is a penguin and it's flying type
>>
>>28226370
I know coconut crabs can't swim. But Doduo is based on a flightless bird, so why can Doduo fly?
>>
>>28224494
that joke was fun a week ago
>>
>>28224520
But drifloon is flying type
>>
>>28226439
Sure, I'll die on this hill. Better than the dumbass Crabrawler argument.

Delibird is a Puffin, therefore it being able to fly makes sense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffin
>>
>>28224225
It should be fighting ground type.
>>
>>28226524

Do you not know what a rockhopper penguin is? Delibird has nothing in common with puffins.
>>
>>28225858
Thanks, at least somebody here knows about biology. These burgerfats need some biology 101


>>28225923
ARE YOU RETARDED? They are not arachnids, maybe you are confusing arachnids with arthropods!
>>
>>28226299
According to the games, the only criteria is that the Pokemon needs to have pincers.
Stadium1/2: A move that is used only by Pokémon with pincers. Likely to get a critical hit.

You're the illiterate that seems to think they need to be water-type. If this troubles you THAT much that it won't get STAB, might I suggest you talk to a therapist.
>>
>>28225733
Yes it does
>>
>>28225784
Nice headcanon, but water shuriken didn't exist in gen V. They gave it that in ORAS despite it being a bug type
