Stats & Training
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
Crabominable is weak to Fire, Fighting, Flying, Psychic, Steel, and Fairy. That's a lot of weak spots to cover so team support is important.

Crabominable Guide
In Sun & Moon, Crabominable works as a wallbreaker with 478 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Sun & Moon's meta. Drain Punch with Sitrus Berry is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, yes. Mega Crabominable is the evolved form, sitting at 578 BST. Big power spike over base Crabominable (478). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
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. Speed tells the real story. Base 43 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wallbreaker role.
