I've got some bad news for you, anon.

>>29881729
Reality is Psychic Terrain. Reality is Choice Band being a shit option on it to begin with since you want to be able to switch up moves since you waste your time clicking priority anyway since they can just as well switch out into a resist and you're locked in.

This thing was the biggest fucking disappointment this gen.

It's a shame because I love Crabrawler.

>>29881933
Crabrawler should have just been a single-stage mon with high stats.

All it need was over 109 Speed and Ice Shard/Mach Punch. And that's not counting the Adernaline Orb combo.

>>29881729
IF ONLY it got Fur Coat. This way it could take hits on the physical side and run AV for its SpDef. WHY !?

I was really hoping that it'd be like Heracross/Pinsir.

>>29882007
No no, this thing is no way near as bad as this. At least its typing and defenses can work. This thing ? Hell no.

>>29881975
I wish, at least he seems to have the stats to do good in Little Cup
>>29882007
That's not Golisopod

>>29881867
I guess your right. Would Sub + 3 Attacks work with this guy? Although Ice Shard and Mach Punch access would've made it less deadweight against most offensive pokemon though. Its even slow enough to get outrun by walls without loads of speed investment.

I still can't believe GF gave it Anger Point. In what scenario will it ever survive a crit?

>>29882076
Being lucky with a Focus Sash.

Does Subs taking Crits activate it?

>>29882031
So did I, man... I fucking love Crabrawler and I still will though, coconut crabs are cool, but creepy dudes. Just wish it was single-stage.

>>29881729
does he get slower when he evolves? because i'm totally just looking for an excuse to keep him dopey punch crab.

>>29882031
>>29881933
>>29881975

His pre evo is so fucking cool. you just can see him constantly getting beat down, but getting right back up for another round.

>>29882059
I would just advise not to use it yet. In the next set of Gen 7 games, I assume move tutors will return to give it more options.

As it stands now, it can't break Slowbro or Starmie which are everywhere.

>>29882076
they clearly thought the image of a raging yeti crab was better than a good ability.

How often do berry trees reset? I accidentally critted this fucker the first time I saw it.

>>29882202
Goes from 63 Speed to 43 Speed.

Although it's HP and Attack shoot up 50 points each when it evolves.

At least that thing can attack, Game Freak made a Pokemon that cannot heal itself reliably in the 6v6 Singles Smogon Tier ruleset.

>>29882310
What are you talking about, Pyukumuku has Recover.

>>29881729
If it makes you feel any better, I run dragon claw instead of outrage on my dragonite because I'm not giving their gardevior or whatever fairy type they're running a free swap in.

WHY DOES EVERYTHING GET SLOWER THIS GEN???

>>29882300
>>29882344

not enough of an incentive to give up his dopey boxer face that i love.

>>29882392
they are either speed nerfing everyone overall eventually, or actually think these mons are good enough without speed to replace the already in fame speed requirements.

>Crabrawler is shit
>Vikavolt is shit
>Decidueye is shit

At least I still have Orangaru.

>>29882461
I dont understand why they just dont make everything slow from the getgo. Like, instead of doing a 61,90, 60 for the litten line, why not just something like 30,45,60? Why are they deliberately REDUCING it?

>>29882534
They probably want to give people a reason to use some earlier evolutions.

>be Fighting specialist
>Finally get a ice/fighting
>No priority
>Would probably still get murdered by smogon bird due to typing/bad defenses to tank a flying move either way

all I want is a switch in against flying, is this so hard to ask?
I'm sick of using legendaries, fuck.

>>29882534
power creep and inability to outright change pre existing mons normally.

these pokes are pretty bad but at the same time we see Talonflame and Gengar got outright nerfed. The alola mons basically got cursed by timing, to early for balanced stat fixes (because they only just started trying to) and too late to ride the power wave.

as many said it's probably likely the new move tutors will outright be even more busted trying to fix these guys, and they may end up being across the board buffed in the gen after them.

>>29882635
everyone but kids and minmaxers is. kids love using the most 'special' guys, and min maxers just value them for their stats.

and everyone who has like 1=2 legends they like for reasons beside their stats gets to feel guilty every time they use him, if they are even allowed to.

>>29882635
Gale Wings got nerfed this gen as it only works with full HP. Throh with Rock Slide is bulky enough to handle Talonflame anyway.

>>29882339
This is what a player has to do to make Crabominable useful
>Doubles
>Assault Vest
>Trick Room
>Psychic Terrain
>Wide Guard on partner
And even after all this, it's still not that great

>>29882853
still would have been funnier if he learned all the punches, even if his attack is crap.

>>29882853
>50(?) hp
honestly cant remember if it was 30 or 50

I want to try using this guy in a doubles team with Alolan Ninetails. Would Aurora Veil let Crabominable survive any of those hits in OP? Though Ninetails could just outspeed and OHKO things like Chomp and Lando. Also thinking about running Frost Breath to trigger Anger Point. This crab reminds me of XY Chesnaught; it'd be really nice if it got Drain Punch. Also, it could punch those Steels that threaten Ninetails. Idk, Alolan Ninetails is my favorite Pokemon, Ice is my favorite type, I just really want to try and make a hail team work in this new season of Alola dex only.
