Crabominable Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Crabominable works as a wallbreaker with 478 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Drain Punch with Assault Vest is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Crabominable's biggest threats include Charizard (Fire), Hitmonlee (Fighting), and Braviary (Flying), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Psychic, Steel, and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
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.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Drain Punch, Icehammer, Icepunch, and Thunderpunch. Drain Punch leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
