>>28801448Expectation:
>BewearProbably somewhat bulky on the physical side (Maybe on the special side as well), high attack, and low speed. Workable, typical fighting pokemon moveset, BUT also probably a typical normal-type kitchen sink movepool. Also if he has any bulk at all it makes him one of the better physical tanks among fighters, since Fluffy mitigates most fighting type moves. Solid in-game pick, but probably not going to be relevant competitively outside of lower tier smogon play.
>CrabrawlerProbably won't evolve OR will have a baby form we haven't seen yet. Crabrawler screams final form to me. He also screams "Mediocre single-stager" to me. Probably high attack, MAYBE bulky defenses, and okay speed, but nothing exceptional. but at the same time, he's going to be another solid in-game pick with Iron Fist punch attacks (Therefore, probably good type coverage with elemental punches - unless he needs tutors in which case he might be screwed until either a remake or third version comes out). Finally, this is less a prediction than wishful thinking, but I'd like it if Crabhammer became compatible with Iron Fist to make up for his lack of STAB.
>PassimianKing of gimmick teams. Like Crabrawler, probably has mediocre single-stager stats. Most likely frail and speedy with good attack (But probably requires a Swords Dance to actually get anything done, like Hawlucha) but nobody is going to use him as a sweeper. Reciever means that for a little while at least everyone is going to go nuts in Smogon doubles and VGC experimenting with team comps based around what he can do by receiving different, really good abilities. Probably a fine movepool for a fighting type. HOWEVER, since his ability is so doubles-focused, I can't see him getting much use in in-game teams unless you really love the design, or he has an easy-to-get Hidden ability.
These are my predictions, based on nothing but what the pokemon look like.
