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 no compatible partners across one egg group, and eggs are average hatch time.
How to Evolve
Breed with Crabominable to get Crabrawler eggs easily 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.
