Assault Vest Crabominable has been surging in viability recently; its typing, access to Drain Punch, and overall bulk that is furthered augmented by Assault Vest allows it to blanket check a plethora of special attackers such as Aurorus, Omastar, Lilligant, and Manectric. Crabominable is able to come in against passive Pokemon like Clefairy and Type: Null and severely dent them with its STAB attacks. Its ability Iron Fist greatly bolsters Ice Hammer's power, letting it OHKO bulky Oricorio-G and 2HKO Clefairy with only 8 Attack EVs. Crabominable can also run a few other options to help with team weaknesses. For example, Pursuit can be run to trap Haunter, while Stone Edge can be used to hit Pokemon like Froslass harder. Although Crabominable is a fantastic special wall, it struggles against Fire- and Fighting-types like Combusken and Gurdurr, so teammates such as Qwilfish are valued. It also suffers from a mediocre Speed tier, meaning that it will have a hard time against faster wallbreakers such as Aggron.
