Strategy Overview

Crawdaunt has an impressive base 120 Attack stat, and with the right attack, it can put some huge dents into many common threats, such as Latios, Cresselia, and Metagross. Its low base Speed of 55 lets it shine in Trick Room. However, weaknesses to Electric-, Grass-, and Fighting-type moves make Crawdaunt very hard to use. Its Dream World ability, Adaptability, gave Crawdaunt a significant boost in BW; however, it doesn't quite make up for Crawdaunt's many weaknesses.
