PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Waterfall should be paired with Crabhammer for Water-type offense.

  • Snarl should be paired with Night Slash for Dark-type offense.

  • Vice Grip and Bubble Beam are underwhelming in all aspects.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Waterfall hits harder while Snarl gains energy faster. Waterfall is more useful given Crawdaunt’s fragility.

  • Night Slash has slightly more power than Bubble Beam and probably works better if paired with Waterfall.

  • Vice Grip is inferior to other charge moves.

  • Crabhammer is the only 2-bar move and is also the hardest to dodge by a hair, but hits the hardest. 

PVE Overview

Crawdaunt wasn’t slated to be amazing, but it at least had a potential future pre-release, unlike most other species in Pokemon GO. Having high Atk was good start. Waterfall was a neat second step. However, Bubble Beam and Night Slash aren’t enough to make it a relevant attacker either in the Water- or Dark-type realms. The addition of Crabhammer lets Crawdaunt compete against many top tier Water-type attackers, beating out Swampert while trailing Kyogre, though it is still quite fragile.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Snarl or Waterfall + Night Slash or Bubble Beam and Crabhammer

Waterfall takes advantage of STAB to offer high damage output at the cost of below average energy gains. Snarl slightly leans to energy gains instead of raw damage output, which lets Crawdaunt utilize its charge moves more often.

Crabhammer is Crawdaunt's best charge move, which hits quite hard with STAB. Bubble Beam and Night Slash both cost only 35 energy and are terrific for baiting shields. The former is mostly utility to debuff the opponent's ATK, while the latter has decent STAB damage to provide some Dark-type coverage. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 1.5 / 5

High attack and high competition leaves Crawdaunt without a leg to stand on in the Great League. It has good performances against mostly Psychic and Ghost-types, but isn't really worth chosing over its much stronger competitors. The addition of Crabhammer is a welcome one, and Snarl's buff in energy gain enables Crawdaunt to threaten its opponents more often. Despite its offensive potential, the lack of bulk and longevity in fights limits its overall performance. 

Ultra League: 1.5 / 5

Crawdaunt's greatest stat-asset is its high attack, and its CP tops out right below the Ultra League cap of 2500. However, it's still outclassed and not worth much use due to a lack of notable good matchups.

Master League: 0 / 5

The same basic story plays out here again; it can do an adequate job, but it's too outclassed to be worthwhile.
