>Crabrawler has a personality that really hates to lose, and it’s driven not only to aim for a higher position than its fellows in terms of social standing, but literally to aim for a higher position in the landscape.
>higher position in the landscape
>yeti crab
this evo was staring us in the face the entire time

yfw it isn't an evo but a sparring partner for crabrawler due to its punching pad hands.

>>29232475
or the trainee becomes the trainer

>>29232499
fuck thats actually smart

>>29232448
No it fucking wasn't, are you high?

"It likes to climb, so of COURSE the beach crab would become a yeti". What kind of logic is that?

I don't even particularly dislike it, but nothing about this evolution was obvious.

>>29232407

*crosses fingers for Fighting/Ice*

Oh god... Fighting/ice?

>>29232407
I like the brain damage theory but in no way actually like the design choice.

I'm glad my bro gets this based evo. Fighting is one of the few types that can make good use of secondary ice typing.

>neutral to sneaky pebbles
>most steel types can fuck off
>ice stab for those pesky flying types

>>29232407
I'm still holding out hope that it's a counterpart and not an evo, but I'm pessimistic.

Crabrawler is just so cool.

>>29232531
>higher position in the landscape
my immediate thought was that it would climb the mountain on the big island to become the king crab, and it seems that I was right

I feel ya, OP. There's always eviolite...

>>29232659
Sadly Eviolite doesn't boost Attack, so it'll be shit.

>>29232407
Are we sure it's an evo and not a counterpart? I don't want Crabrawler do get marred with ice typing.

>>29232407
Maybe this is his counterpart and not an evolution

>>29232407
WAIT A SECOND. REMEMBER CRABRAWLER'S MOVEPOOL
>Pursuit
>Stone Edge
>Close Combat
>Crabhammer

Now add Ice Punch on top of this. We may finally have another Ice type in OU, especially with Psychic Tapu around to neuter Talonflame.

Get it?

ok...but yeti crabs like to live in the lowest parts of the ocean.

>>29232407
I kinda feel like it isnt an evo, just a counterpart

>>29232762
Not by sharing the same color scheme though

>>29232719
I mean, yeah I understand why they did it, but that anon was making it out to be like it was the logical evolution for it. There's no fucking way anyone thought it would turn into a yeti.

>>29232762
It's possible but if that was the case one would assume they would have been revealed simultaneously.

>>29232719
Why give him a retard bowl cut and bear mittens? Why not just keep the boxing motif?

They could have done some cool shit like a russian boxer, or frozen boxing gloves.

>>29232822
No, I was making it out like it wasn't totally out of left field like some anons are saying

>>29232828
They're could be too embarrassed to reveal this thing at any event

>>29232407

Ice/Fighting is actually a pretty great type, offensively-speaking anyway.

SE against Normal, Grass, Ice, Ground, Flying, Rock, Dragon, Dark, Steel

Weak against Fire, Fighting, Flying, Psychic, Steel, Fairy but neutral to sneaky pebbles

It's either a counterpart or the pokémon evolves into a trainer to help young Crabrawlers.

If it's the latter, I'd like to see Crabrawl and this guy being both viable in their own ways, you know, like Scyther and Scizor could have been.

>>29232407
We lost.

>>29232407
I honestly think this thing would've looked perfectly fine if it didn't have a retarded face. They could've just slapped Crabrawler's face on it and I would've been satisfied.

>>29232929

That's pretty ridiculous coverage, I don't think any other type combo hits 9 types for SE damage

This is slightly related

we got all of them but the Dolphin

>>29232448
Yeti crabs come from the bottom of the ocean
They in fact deal with much hotter temperatures.

I still prefer Crabrawler, but I do like this thing. It's immediately grown on me! I still think they could be counterparts though

>>29232929
This. All it needs is fire or thunder punch to fuck with skarmory and water types.

Why is sunskirt hitching a fucking ride on his head

>>29232407
I seriously doubt this is his evo, it's probably a counterpart just like Sawk and Thro. The designs just too markedly different.

>>29232929
Good STAB coverage probably hindered by the fact that it's another slow ice type

>>29232705
>>29232762
>>29233105
I really fucking hope you anons are right.

Anyone have any guesses to what it takes to evolve it? My money is on some Magnezone/Probopass-styled environment based evolution, where Crabrawler evolves only in the mountain region.

>>29233110
Fighting helps with that since it's not weak to rocks

also I'm pretty sure some pretty major balance changes are happening this gen. Steel resists Dark again and Paralysis's speed reduction was nerfed to 1/2.

>>29233181
Probably just the new Ice Stone.

>>29233110
Speed doesn't matter if it gets Mach Punch and/or Ice Shard.

>>29232971

Mamoswine does. 10 if you count the ones that run Freeze Dry.

>>29233240

>Steel resists Dark again

Sauce?

>>29233240
>Steel resists Dark again

If you're lying I'm going to dress up in a Metagross costume and murder you in yours sleep.

>>29232978

It's meant to be ironic.

>>29232706
Interesting.
