Strategy Overview

Crabominable boasts one of the highest Attack stats in the tier, which in tandem with its solid offensive typing, Iron Fist ability, and access to high-powered STAB moves in Close Combat and Ice Hammer gives it the ability to 2HKO a vast majority of the tier. Crabominable functions as an effective Assault Vest user due to its solid bulk, coveted resistance to Ice, and decent damage output even without investment. Because of its low Speed, Crabominable also fits solidly on Trick Room teams as a hard-hitting physical wallbreaker. Due to how hard it hits under Trick Room, revenge killing it becomes rather difficult even for teams with priority moves. However, Crabominable is pressured easily by common offensive Pokemon such as Stoutland as a result of its aforementioned low Speed, awkward defensive typing, and only decent bulk. While amazing offensively, Crabominable's typing isn't very good defensively outside of checking very specific Pokemon such as Aurorus, burdening it with weaknesses to common attacking types in Fire, Fighting, Flying, and Psychic. Crabominable faces stiff competition from other Fighting-types in the tier such as Gurdurr and Primeape and is forced to find its niche through Assault Vest or Trick Room sets rather than traditional offensive sets.
