Hey, I just realized Crabrawler is pure Fighting, (coconut crabs

>>29283857
I'm disappointed because he seems to be the only alolan ice type.

>>29283857
This thing is actually what made me put it in my team. It's a goofy yeti boxer crab with a potential to have a great typing. I'm down for that. Only thing that's a bit weird is the "hair" but I can live with that.

Yeti crab thread? This thing has got zero recognition or love so far.

>>29283857
I have autism that prevents me from liking NFE Pokemon so no I can't use eviolite. One of my favorite Pokemon designs ever just got wasted by turning into this.

>>29283857
Does anybody have the list of unused types?

>>29283857
>be able to use an eviolite

You know cause all those tank mono-fighting mons. Eviolite is the solution to every NFE mon.

I'm not a fan. It's such a radical shift in theme from coconut crab boxer to yeti. I was expecting fighting/grass evolution just because the crabs climb tress and shit.

>>29283857
I love it so much!! I'm hoping it is Fighting/Ice, I love both!!

This thing looks like something Crabrawler would punch at. Ruined.

>>29284552
it just got wasted by your autism

>>29283857
>surskuit grew big meaty claws

I like the concept. But it's ruined by the retard derp face, weird body shape, and horrible color scheme.

I generally don't even mind goofy looking Pokemon, but this thing is just poorly designed even without being a Crabrawler evo.

>>29283857
I hate how it's gone from a boxer-punk with a gangster haircut and swagger/black eye expression to a retarded snowman with grope hands and a bowl cut.

Honestly, a lot of them, including Alolan forms, have let me down, but there's enough I like to put a team together.

>Slow Defensive Ice-type.

>>29284715
That's the point, no? It goes from an arrogant boxer to a wise master who trains the new boxers.

This thing is one of my absolute 10/10 designs for this gen.

kinda reminds me of dragon quest

This thing is awesome. The "paw" claws are a nice touch.

>>29285549
What is the point of having an over the hill mon?
Might as well have Rockruff get a third stage where it needs a crutch to replace a damaged hind leg and can barely move without support from younger ones.

>>29283857
Why does everyone think that this is going to be an evolution? To me it looks like a counterpart, like what we got with Throh/Sawk and Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan.

His paw-hands clearly don't look like they're made for punching; they look like they're made for blocking.

What part of this face looks wise to you?

>>29285509
Did I miss something? Why are people assuming it's gonna be defensive?

>>29285757
It's gimmick is it has punch pads. Literally a defender.

>>29285717
>Why does everyone think that this is going to be an evolution?
>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.
Highest position in the landscape is the ice mountain

Also, Game Freak gives code names to the Pokemon they create. Crabrawler's code name is 'Crab1'. It's possibly another clue there.

>>29285825
Shit, didn't even think of that. Really hope that's not the case.

I can't look at it without seeing an overweight yeti Surskit. I don't understand how this was given the OK. Surely somebody on the design team had to have noticed the resemblance and felt they should at least change the hair or face color.

>>29283888
This is bait

>>29283857
I love it.

>>29283857
It's goofy mouth is my concern, but other than that I wouldn't mind checking these things out in the game

What would Ice/Fighting resist though?

>>29286073
How is it bait? Anon obviously mean new Alolan Pokemon and not Kanto reskins.

>>29285717

Maybe, if we're REALLY lucky, it'll be like Scyther/Scizor, will evolve with the Ice Stone or something, and it's BST will be the same for the evolution? So like:

Crabrawler
HP: 70
ATK: 125
DEF: 95
SPA: 55
SPD: 70
SPE: 85

BST: 500

And then Snowconut:
HP: 85
ATK: 95
DEF: 125
SPA: 55
SPD: 70
SPE: 70

BST: 500

Maybe? Maybe?

I like the shiny a lot more. Light blue really looks bad on it.

>>29286205
What, no. Scizor never should have had lost the speed of Scyther.

>>29283857
I think it looks good. it will be much better when in motion
Crabawler was fine with Iron Fist
this thing will be amazing with Iron Fist and STAB on normal and ice punches

Make of that what you will, evo or variant?

>>29285596
same

looks like a boxer who got hit too many times

>>29283857

> so this dude must be Fighting/Ice. Cool!

So he'd be a fighting type that's weak to all the other fighting types

>you're able to use Eviolite.

How practical that would be on a Crabrawler

>>29286205
Why would that be LUCKY?

>>29286562
>So he'd be a fighting type that's weak to all the other fighting types
he would be good vs flying
we can't have everything, anon

>>29286205
I hope this is the case, but because you can get Crabrawler before the first totem battle I don't think they'll give us a 500 BST pokemon that early, at best it'll be something like Sneasel's stats.

okay

Esther tham a Yeti it is a bigfoot. I think that in normal position he rest the clamps on the grownd. That produce footprints that might looks like a foot of a bigger Mon.
Also it looks dumb because, you know, all that hit on the head

>>29286619
>Crabrawlers that manage to endure their brutal lifestyle and reach the mountaintops realize futility of it all.
>Battered and older, but way wiser, they stay on the mountains slopes, happy with their accomplishments, waiting for young ambitious Crabrawlers that start their ascent.
>Unlike their hotheaded evolution, the jolly [Crab2] is happy to help it's younger kin, coaching it and helping it sharpen its skill.

>If you're disappointed in Crabrawler's evo, you shouldn't be. Because it means you're able to use Eviolite.
But there's no offensive Eviolite.

>>29287070
Now that megas exist, they can make one.

>>29283857
We'd at least have a purpose for the Ice Stone besides Vulpix

Speaking of the Ice stone, when past generations introduced stones, new Evolutions to old Pokémon came with them. We only have the Alola dex, not the new national dex. There's a chance we might get new Ice evos.

>>29283857
It's weird that an unevolved Crabrawler can learn Close Combat. Maybe they want it to be viable with Eviolite.

>>29287047
It cannot be fused with an Egg.

>>29287065
I like it

>>29285744
BWAAAAAAAAAAAH!

>>29287065
I meant prevolution on the third line.

>>29287070
Scyther is an offensive eviolite

>>29285744
AAADRIAN

>>29287224
But Scyther has lower attack than Scizor.

>>29287047
I managed to translate your post in to something along the lines of:
"Better than a yeti, it's a Bigfoot. In a resting position, it puts its 'hands' face down to the ground (or in my opinion, possibly punches the ground for practice? Maybe it does aid it's walking with them, but I digress). This produces imprints that could be misconstrued as large footprints from a different Pokemon. It's facial expression is down to the multiple head injuries it sustained through it's boxing career.

Honestly, while it'll never be my favourite 'mpn, this and the whole mountain retirement home for braindead Crabrawlers is making me accept it a lot more.

>>29287120
>yfw it's a Scyther situation
>it has a high BST. If it evolves, it simply redistributes its BST to match Yeticrab
>Crabrawler is an offensive fighter that can be nicely bulky with Eviolite.

>>29287289
Yeah bit eviolite gives him more bulkiness

>>29285630
I just notice that their not actually paws but rather claws with three bumps on the top of it.

>>29286372
>litten's final evo reference sheet has "tiger3" on it

It's time to worry.

>>29285744
is this how I do spoiler text

>>29288611
Well, that seals it for me then.

It's interesting, if the demo wasnt datamined by now Masuda would have confirmed that Crabrawler evolves.
Maybe that means they are going to show him off soon anyways

>>29286605
It's weak to Flying lmao
