Strategy Overview

Crawdaunt stands out in the tier for sporting amazing mixed attacking stats and featuring a decent typing to make use of them. Having no physical STAB move is a letdown though, especially considering its incredible base 120 Attack stat, but its base 90 Special Attack is still fantastic by NU standards. It also has great coverage, both physical and special, meaning that once Crawdaunt steps onto the battlefield, something's getting hurt. Unfortunately, getting Crawdaunt in is hard considering its subpar bulk, and its low Speed means it'll be unlikely to sweep the opponent's team anytime soon. Still, if it's an unpredictable wallbreaker you're looking for, Crawdaunt is a fine candidate for offensive teams.
