Crabominable is a Fighting/Ice-type from Gen 7. Its typing leaves 6 weaknesses to cover, which limits where it can switch in safely. 132 base Attack is its best stat. It works well under Trick Room. Known as the Woolly Crab Pokemon.
The stat bars tell the story: Attack carries everything and Speed's dead weight. But this Woolly Crab Pokemon still yields 2 Attack EVs per fight on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
The detached pincers of these Pokémon are delicious. Some Trainers bring Lechonk into the mountains just to search for them.
Though its punches are powerful, this Pokémon’s movements are sluggish. It blows icy bubbles from its mouth to immobilize its opponents.
Crabominable Weakness
FragileCrabominable is weak to Fire, Fighting, Flying, Psychic, Steel, and Fairy-type moves. That's a lot of weak spots to cover so team support is important.
Crabominable doesn't evolve, so breeding's where the action is. You'll find a decent partner pool across one egg group, and eggs are average hatch time.
How to Evolve
Breed with Crabominable to get Crabrawler eggs easily using 37 partners from the Water3 egg group.
Crabominable's locked into one move per switch-in with Choice Band, trading flexibility for raw power at the cost of move flexibility. Icehammer is the go-to spam option, with the remaining moves keeping switch-ins honest.

Recommended Teammates
Most of Crabominable's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Focus Punch and Close Combat, but Water and Normal and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.
Level-Up Moves
TM Moves
Egg Moves
Tutor Moves
Take Down and Ice Hammer bring the raw damage. But Crabominable also picks up coverage across 10 types from TMs, making it tough to find a safe switch. You're not locked into one angle here.
Egg moves make a real difference. Crabominable gets Amnesia and Endeavor exclusively through breeding, filling gaps that TMs and level-up can't touch. Coverage across 9 types rounds out the picture alongside Focus Punch and Close Combat.

- Step 2Crabominable ✓
Crabominable works as a wallbreaker with 478 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list — a solid choice for the right team. That 132 base Attack does the heavy lifting.
.
Hyper Cutter is the go-to ability for Crabominable. It prevents Attack from being lowered by other Pokémon. Its hidden ability Anger Point can work in specific setups. Iron Fist is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.
Crabominable is a physical attacker with base 132 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 43 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Crabominable can be found in Legends: Z-A, Scarlet & Violet, Sun & Moon, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.
Available since Sun & Moon, Crabominable appears in 4 games spanning 3 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 7.
