Thanks to its incredible base 120 Attack stat and Adaptability-boosted STAB moves, Crawdaunt performs the role as wallbreaker in the OU metagame. An Adamant nature alongside Life Orb allows Crawdaunt to maximize its damage output. Swords Dance boosts Crawdaunt's Attack stat to frightening levels and can provide offensive pressure to offensive and defensive Pokemon alike. Crabhammer is an extremely powerful move that hits weak and neutral targets such as Tyranitar, Clefable, and Mandibuzz very hard. Knock Off can severely cripple opposing Pokemon such as Amoonguss, Tangrowth, and Toxapex by removing their items and hitting them with great damage output. Aqua Jet is a great priority move for Crawdaunt to pick off weakened faster threats such as Zeraora, Dragapult, Hawlucha, Volcarona, Excadrill, and Rotom-H late-game.
Crawdaunt benefits from VoltTurn users like Dragapult and Zeraora, as they can invite in defensive Pokemon like Hippowdon, Clefable, and Blissey and allow Crawdaunt to switch in safely and immediately put pressure on them. In addition, offensive pivots such as Rillaboom and Magnezone are great partners, as they can bring in Crawdaunt via U-turn and Volt Switch, respectively, to revenge kill their Fire-type checks such as Volcarona and weakened Rotom-H. Crawdaunt can struggle against Kommo-o and faster Grass-types like Rillaboom, so it appreciates being paired with Pokemon like Togekiss and Hawlucha in order to cover its vulnerabilities. Crawdaunt also appreciates Scizor as its teammate to deal with Kyurem and Rillaboom.
