>you can catch Crabrawler before beating the first trial >can't

Crabrawler must overcome many trials to reach the top.

>>32877222
>ask someone to evolve it for you
lmao

>>32877222
it means Crabrawler is the ultimate Pokémon to use in trials

Let me get some uhhhhh

[ [ [ [ U N O V A S Y N D R O N E ] ] ] ]

for real though, it seems like they've been taking cues from the annoying parts of gen v rather than the good ones.

Its promo video had it one-shotting the most poplar tourneyfag Pokemon like Kangaskhan.

What went so wrong?

>>32877292
he deserves higher base stats

>>32877222
This actually makes me hopeful they'll have an accessible mountain peak earlier in the game for Ultra so that we can evolve it earlier.

Location-based Evolutions were a mistake.
Either make them available shortly after finding the Pokemon, or make them available halfway through the game.
Not at the LITERAL FUCKING END.

>>32877332
It should evolve at Hokulani, but that would conflict with Crabrawler's "lore".

>>32877222
GF hates Ice-types and doesn't allow you to get any until the very end of the game. That's it.

>>32877610
Ice confirmed as the most powerful type in the Pokemon world.

>>32877289
Most of mons you get early on in Unova don't evolve late. Only at route 4 do they start evolving late, and even then it's still Gen 1 evolution levels. When you get most of the mons that evolve at level 50+, the wild Pokemon are already around that level

>>32877235
I did this. I came to /vp/ and asked someone to evolve my Crabrawler and Charjabug and thon fucker said he'd give them back once he was off the first island.

Luckily some people found the thread and managed to give me what I was supposed to get, but I still miss my bros.

>>32877235
that doesn't feel right at all
you don't see your mon evolving
that's also why I hate trade evo

>>32877610
Ice is the worst type anyway. Sucks defensively because it has weaknesses to types that are typically quite strong offensively, and the offensive Ice-types all have middling speed and low defenses.

Ice is only useful for teaching Ice-type moves to Water-types.

>>32877222
it's so horrible they wanted to hide it as much as possible

Fighting/Ice is actually a really good offensive dual typing, which may be GF's reason for making Crabominable unavailable until very late in the game.

Regardless, it's incredibly annoying. Nearly every time I play through SM, I have a Crabrawler on my team, because it's a reliable Fighting type and I love its design. And it kills me every time to see my entire team grow up except for ((him))

>>32878681
Was it the troll face guy who took them?

>>32879292
I mean you can say a lot about its face and hair but this thing is massive and under such weather conditions + the fact that its claws are fucking rockets it's really goddamn scary.

>>32878945
how can ice be a rock anyways

>>32879718
What do you mean rockets?

>>32879743
It isn't a move sadly, but I hope they will redeem it with that at some point. I want to see how that looks like. Anyway here's the dex entry.
>It just throws punches indiscriminately. In times of desperation, it can lop off its own pincers and fire them like rockets.

>>32879292
wow the game's 3d model and the official art doesnt do crabominable any justice

i hate how the thing looks and i gotta admit it that it doesn't look as bad on this card, with its hair showing physics and without its mouth agape

its arms look reasonably shorter too

>>32879280
>Nearly every time I play through SM
>Actually being able to bear that shit multiple times

>>32877222
>has to adapt to a cold enviroment
>no adaptability as it's ability

just imagine a adaptability stab ice hammer from a 132 base attack

>>32879846
>pokemon evolves to adapt to its environment
>slap adaptability on it
yawn

>>32879701
Yes. Back in late November, few days after the games came out.

>none of the alola forms have adaptability
J U S T

>>32880351
I mean, they already adapted because change form
Delibird still have the same form and its ice type in a hot climate

>Although it naturally prefers colder locales, Delibird in Alola seem able to withstand the heat to a certain extent.
