The design is just awful. Not only is it visually displeasing, it also tries to incorporate too many different themes and ideas that all clash with each other. You evolve crabrawler into this thing by leveling it up on mt. Lanakila, literally bringing it to the top. It’ll evolve into a boxing champion, right? Nope, now it has gloves like a boxing teacher, despite the fact that none of it’s dex entrys describe it teaching crabrawlers, so why not keep the boxing glove claws? Because people mistake the marks on it’s claws for yeti footprints. Also it can fire it’s arms like rockets because... ????? It’s just a mess design wise.
Moving on to the stats, 97/132/77/62/67/42
Wow! 132 attack? That’s huge! Until you consider the fact that it’s speed stat is only a little bit higher than your mom’s iq score, then we have a problem. Defensive stats are also quite worthless, it’s hp is at least decent, but without the defenses to back it up it becomes worthless. It’s stats are garbage.
It’s typing is great! It’s actually the best thing about this crustacean nightmare. Ice/fighting is a great offensive combo, being able to tear through many of the more threatening defensive types, as well as being a good choice against quite a few offensive types. It does suffer from having quite a few weaknesses, however, specifically fire and fairy. As it has no built in counters to those types. Unfortunately, Crabominable has no feasible way to utilize this typing effectively.
It’s moveset is honestly not worth mentioning. It’s main flaw is that there are no priority moves to speak of, the one saving grace that could make this pokemon at least decent. The rest is just normal attacking moves and a few so-so status moves.
Overall it’s a weak, worthless pokemon that’s ugly to boot. Well deserving of my least favorite spot.
