DESCRIPTION
1 – ReuniclusCrawdaunt @ Choice Specs
Nature: Modest
EVs: 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Ability: Adaptability
-Surf / Scald
-Ice Beam
-Dark Pulse
-Hidden Power [Fighting]
Even though Crawdaunt has an incredible Attack stat, it still has a great base 90 Special Attack. With Adaptability, Surf or Scald and Dark Pulse get a double stab boost, making a Specs set very destructive. The only thing that might hinder Crawdaunt is its slow speed. This Crawdaunt will work very well if you can paralyze most of the opponent's Pokemon. Ice Beam covers Dragon, Flying, and Grass types, HP Fighting deals with Steel, Rock, and other Dark types.
1 – PHANTOMxTRAINERHere's my little set for Crawdaunt:
Mixed Sweeper Crawdaunt (Trick Room Sweeper)
Crawdaunt @ Life Orb
Nature: Brave/Quiet
EVs: 252 Atk / 130 Sp.A / 126 HP 0 Speed IVs
Ability: Adaptability
-Crabhammer
-Crunch
-Sludge Bomb
-Scald
This set is obviously a Trick Room Mixed Sweeper Set. Life orb to make sure Crawdaunt hits hard. Brave/Quiet Nature to make Crawdaunt the fastest one when Trick Room is on the field. This is great, paired with Crawdaunt's 55 Base Speed. It's EVs are set to be able to still sweep with it's devastating Attack Base Stat, while also with a little fire power to back it up. The 126 HP is there to ensure that Crawdaunt lives as long as it can when paired with the Life Orb. 0 IVs are obviously to make it slower. Adaptability is a god-given gift making his STAB rate 2x!!! Crabhammer and Crunch are his obvious STAB moves that sometimes make opponents flinch. Sludge Bomb is his first Sp.A move that helps get rid of Grass types that may harm him, especially during Sunlight. Scald is there as a filler move and to also cripple Physical attackers that may pass his way.
