Strategy Overview
Krabby is an interesting Pokemon to use in Little Cup, having an extremely high Attack stat as well as a very good base Defense. Krabby also has 2 excellent boosting moves in Agility and Swords Dance, a decent movepool granting it good coverage, and two very useful abilities in Shell Armor and Hyper Cutter. However, with the introduction of the item Eviolite, it has become tougher for Pokemon such as Krabby to sweep. Still, Krabby is capable of pulling off a sweep, and is an offensive threat which every team should watch out for.
