Strategy Overview
The first things that stick out about Krabby are its exceptionally high Attack and Defense. Its Attack stat is one of the highest in the tier, only falling behind Archen and Cranidos. It also has access to Swords Dance and Agility, two excellent boosting moves that allow Krabby to easily sweep unsuspecting teams with its wide coverage. Some of Krabby's downsides, however, are its low Special Defense and HP, making it unable to go toe to toe with most special attackers. Ferroseed and most other Grass-types in Little Cup can easily switch in on any of Krabby's moves, bar Superpower, and proceed to set up entry hazards or afflict it with a status ailment.
