>tfw bred a solid pokemon for battle only to then discover it doesn't learn a key move you expected it to have
Fuck this really doesn't have Waterfall?

It's your own fault for not looking it up.

Cookie needs some love from Papa GameFreak.

If only they'd stop having special peanut butter time with Lucario long enough to remember that other Pokemon exist.

Because crabs move sideways, Crawdaunt and Clawitzer don't.
Could still have learned U-Turn at least...

U-Turn makes even less sense.
Maybe it could use something weird like Shell Smash

>>23299611
Waterfall is boosted by Sheer Force and has more accuracy.

It sucks that crabhammer has less effective bp than sheer force waterfall. It wouldn't vastly improve the crab though

I would point out kingler runs 0 moves that are boosted by sheer force currently. And it is basically a poor man's crawdaunt

I liked rock slide sf kingler but knock off is just better in that moveslot

Why is sheer force given to physical attackers?

Well then, you could just go with Hyper Cutter, which isn't bad either.

Flavorwise, you'd think of something with a lot of force would be more physically-oriented, no?

In fact, all Sheer Force users have higher attack than special attack, even Nidoking/Landorus.

Still a better ability for special attackers and there aren't many special boosting abilities.

Is it really?

Also, there aren't so many special hurting abilities either. Lookin' at Intimidate, Iron Barbs, Fur Coat, and Rough Skin in particular.

Thats cause physical is way more powerful than special with boosting moves given out like candy and spamable high BP moves. Which is why being physical has more drawbacks.

i wish gamefreak would make kingler viable, easily one of the best designs in the series. ashs kingler evolving in the indigo league was one of the most epic moments in the anime. ffs its in PU right now and its not even good there. its an embarrassment.
