This. Most SFMA's get made fun of because their attacking stats aren't nearly worth how slow and frail they are.
If Cacturne (or any SFMA) had Adaptability, it wouldn't be a laughingstock. That's for sure.

Cacturne was clearly built around it's evasion ability. Which is banned so RIP

It's kind of cheating when you can swap your attacking stats and defensive stats on the fly.

Really?

Is it worth it? Or are there any odd clauses banning situations where you can actually use it?

Slow frail mixed attacker (with a good ability that saves it)

>>43281384
Except Garchomp uses that ability way better than Cacturne ever could have.
Hell, if that ability actually mattered on it Cacturne would have seen more use in Gen III aka the perma sand generation.

Except its fast enough to outspeed most relevant walls in OU and hits hard enough to cripple or outright kill anything that isnt a wall due to its decent STAB coverage and high powered coverage. Also Aqua Jet picks off. It also does not run mixed. Also bulku enough physically

It is slow, and that does make it hard to deal with other offensive mons, since a lot of them are faster than it.
But the main reason to use Crawdaunt is as a wallbreaker, so it only needs to be faster than walls.

The problem is other SFMAs don't hit as hard nor have DD and powerful priority to slightly fix their speed. Also Crawdaunt is not mixed per se, it's physical attack stands out so no one runs it mixed or special
