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.
It aimed for the top but got lost and ended up on a snowy mountain. Being forced to endure the cold, this Pokémon evolved and grew fur.
It just throws punches indiscriminately. In times of desperation, it can lop off its own pincers and fire them like rockets.
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. It's got 4 egg moves worth looking into.
How to Evolve
Breed with Crabominable to get Crabrawler eggs easily from the Water3 egg group. Notable egg moves include Amnesia, Endeavor, Superpower and 1 more.
For a physical attacker, Crabominable wants a spread EV build EVs and Sitrus Berry. The Brave nature tilts toward slow physical duty, and Ironfist contributes without taking a move slot.

Egg moves make a real difference. Crabominable gets Amnesia and Endeavor exclusively through breeding, filling gaps that TMs and level-up can't touch. Water and Dark coverage and more rounds out the picture alongside Close Combat and Focus Blast.
