Jimothy's mental fortitude is slowly being consumed by gen 9 OU shenanigans. His once calculated play by play descriptions have devolved into an 8 minute rant about crabs.
Fun fact it may not even come from hoenn since the animal its based on is an invasive species and its pokedex talks about how violent and aggressive and ruins ponds
imagine if crawdaunt had sucker punch, it would become even more terrifying to fight. on a different topic, ive used this mon on a gen 6 OU rain offense team and its sheer damage output is very much valued.
@@Slimeonianit's the reason why it uses aqua jet as it's priority. If it had sucker it would be much much better at cleaning teams with it's choice band set
@@Gold-Dangotbf band sucker wouldn’t be that great for cleaning, I think life orb sd like Bisharp would be better for that, but it would be great for taking out single threats
Playing with crawdaunt is like a box of surprise chocolates. Yes you know what you're gonna get, but the random ohkos and 2hkos it gets always cheers you up
Crawdaunt is one of my favorite Pokémon because my British AP Geography teacher would constantly talk about the “Giant Australian Crawdads” and then I used Crawdaunt on the ladder and destroyed stall.
i imagine a world were crabhammer worked like a "reverse psyshock" in ADV, and did special damage like all water type attacks, but used the attack stat for calculations. even benefitting from choice band. i want to see what kind of shenanigans Crawdaunt and Kingler could get up to with such a move.
Unfortunately not underrated at all. It seems solid in UU, but it really has a lot of poor matchups in OU. It wouldn't survive with all the Rillaboom / Ogerpon-Wellspring teams
Crawdaunt: If you recall our chat in the forums at Smogon, you know that I have the same coverage as you. Samurott-Hisui: Then this will be a good fight. Crawdaunt: With the exception that I have a newer version of the movepool.
Theres something so satisfying about watching stall teams crumble to an underrated powerhouse. I used Alolan Marowak a lot in gen 8 OU (alongside banded Urshifu-S before it got banned) and smacked stall teams around effortlessly.
You gotta thank the Dreamworld gods for giving it Adaptability for it’s HA *cough* Meganium *cough* Electivire *cough* Also gotta thank the buffed Knock Off and Crabhammer for that too
I think Mr. Craw will literally always be amazing because all the slow fat mons can't handle it. Adaptability + Knock and Crabhammer is just sooooo overwhelming. There's no single stall contender that can stop him.
I caught a XL shiny Corphish with the "Thorny Mark" in the DLC, hoping to use it in a draft league or some other singles format to show everyone the power of its evolution
I've been loving Mr. Craw in OU recently. He's a bit hard to maneuver in, but can pretty much 2hko the entire game even outside of rain. Even in the offense MU, it can force progress on chipped opponents by threatening Jet and knocking items. Definitely one of the greatest to ever do it
Crawdaunt is cool. I like using it in my team whenever I have a chance. In gen 7, this mon along side druddigon saved me from multiple battles against stall team
What a coincidence... I also converted to Crawdaunt supremacy back in Gen 7! And I say this as a hipster weirdo who isn't usually a fan of Water types barring a few exceptions. It's the kind of Pokémon you really need to try for yourself with proper team support to really understand its potential. It works better in practice than on paper, surprisingly.
When I first started playing competitive pokemon in gen 8 one of my favorite sets on any pokemon ever was dragon dance + focus sash crawdaunt. Probably not that great but it was fun as hell.
The craw is pefectly made, a true glass cannon tuned to counter stall. Its water/dark typing give it only 4 weaknesses and 7 resistances (1 of those an imnunity). Of those only grass Pokemon are known to be walls, Electric, Bug and Fighting are rarely seen on wall Pokemon meaning that unless you have a hard hitting or grass wall, Crawdunt will hit at least one of your walls pretty hard.
Jimothy really got my brain registering Sinistcha as "Iron Chugulis" and I hate it. Like I'm watching other Poketubers constantly checking myself wondering "wtf is a Sinistcha"... Oh !
Just got to top 100 on gen 7 ou with a rain team, in the last game crawdaunt delivered the final blow. Thank you jimothy, never will i ever lose to stall again😌😌😌
Crawdaunt was one of my fave mon to get in gen 7 Showdown's random battles, like even without dd it was super fun to use so i'm not surprised it could perfom greatly in gen 9 uu!
i feel like crawdaunt always got more use out of adaptability than some other recipients of that ability due to it's excellent stab types and stab moves
this is actually what happened to the gholdengo on the thumbnail Gholdengo was having a nice day spinblocking and eating crab sandwhiches and then Gholdengo wacked it with an adaptability boosted Knock off
I'm hosting a $2900+ Gen 3 OU Tournament. Check out the commentary here:

When victini comes back I can one shot toxapex under sun and Tera fire choice band again
When Crawdaunt hits, he only does that once. But when Crawdaunt is hit, there goes his hp.
Truly a balanced Pokemon.
Thank you renekton.
"Two hits- I hit you, you hit the ground."
Aight, I'mma nickname a Crawdaunt "One Shot Johnny"
Such is the nature of glass cannons.
Truly the glass cannon experience
Crawdaunt is one of the most epic Pokémon of all time.
This superstar crab has a very poor stat distribution.
@@jiankaifeng9164But thanks to its ability, adaptability, which boosts its Same-type attack bonus to 2 times instead of 1.5 times.

Jimothy's mental fortitude is slowly being consumed by gen 9 OU shenanigans. His once calculated play by play descriptions have devolved into an 8 minute rant about crabs.
Every great competitive poke tuber always rounds back to the CRAWDADDY.
Blundino infected him with the agency drip
Everything evolves into crabs after all ...
They've evolved not devolved, crab is the final, ultimate form of evolution
A true man of culture
Who could've imagined that rocky helmet doesn't go off after you already knocked it off on the previous turn
This is HUGE for the Gen 9 meta
A lesser Pokemon would've tripped on the helmet after it fell to the ground. Crawdaunt is not one of those.
How does this affect ADV revival's legacy?
He called 911, but Mr. Craw was on the phone.
I like that in between clips Crawdaunt was raised from RU to UU
He is inevitable
Mr. Craw is on the phone? Dayum, this video is gonna be an agency classic.
Agency Agencyyy
jimothy's incredibly sarcastic and nearly monotone trash talk puts a smile on my face
Fun fact it may not even come from hoenn since the animal its based on is an invasive species and its pokedex talks about how violent and aggressive and ruins ponds
Hence its ability. It adapted to a new environment and flourished.
It's probably even more terrifying in it's native region.
It should be less terrifying since it has natural predators on its original habitat
imagine if crawdaunt had sucker punch, it would become even more terrifying to fight. on a different topic, ive used this mon on a gen 6 OU rain offense team and its sheer damage output is very much valued.
Wait it DOESN’T have sucker punch? Dang
@@Slimeonianit's the reason why it uses aqua jet as it's priority. If it had sucker it would be much much better at cleaning teams with it's choice band set
Double STAB priority on the death lobster would be very funny.
Honestly give it mach punch and xtrm-speed
@@Gold-Dangotbf band sucker wouldn’t be that great for cleaning, I think life orb sd like Bisharp would be better for that, but it would be great for taking out single threats
Playing with crawdaunt is like a box of surprise chocolates. Yes you know what you're gonna get, but the random ohkos and 2hkos it gets always cheers you up
now imagine crawdaunt with it's special attack and speed swapped
I think it would be in the Uber tier, at least during early stages of a generation because of the limited pokedex.
Actually the greatest scarfer of all time.
Mr. Craw if it was made in Gen 9
Iron Lobster
Imagine Crawdaunt with it's special defense and speed
swapped 😮😮😮
Thank you Jimothy Cool for explaining to us why Crawdaunt is one of the most epic pokemon of all time.
other pokemon: nooo i must carefully choose a move that covers the current matchup and potential switch ins
crawdaunt:
fuck it we craw
fuck it we craw
FUCK IT WE CRAW
Crawdaunt is one of my favorite Pokémon because my British AP Geography teacher would constantly talk about the “Giant Australian Crawdads” and then I used Crawdaunt on the ladder and destroyed stall.
I'm gonna need like a 10 min Journalistic video about the inner workings of Gholdengo Investments
Ayo did someone call
Agent Craw is HIM!!! The Goat has returned
Bro was afraid of that alomomola using ice beam, comin off that base 40 special attack
Crawdaunt is so epic people forgot it was in gen 8 as well
Crawdaunt has what it takes in Gen 9 OU. This is insane.
Being the ADV OU guy, seeing crawdaunt do something must be (Jimothy) cool
I can feel the wallbreaking power of an Adaptability + rain boosted Crabhammer inside of me. Agent Craw is truly massive.
My favourite Pokemon, Crawdaunt, finally gets a video by my favourite Poketuber. This is insane.
I used Crawduant for my mono Dark run of Shield. His name was Rampage, and he was an absolute beast.
i imagine a world were crabhammer worked like a "reverse psyshock" in ADV, and did special damage like all water type attacks, but used the attack stat for calculations. even benefitting from choice band. i want to see what kind of shenanigans Crawdaunt and Kingler could get up to with such a move.
blissey
And now gliscor always thought it should have it since it's claws always looked like crab claws
@@unfunniestman Knock it off
I figured the fighting type would get a move like that eventually.
@@rightious4u2 that's an option, but what about choice sets?
Probably the most underated returning pokemon
Unfortunately not underrated at all. It seems solid in UU, but it really has a lot of poor matchups in OU. It wouldn't survive with all the Rillaboom / Ogerpon-Wellspring teams
2:41 Mr. Craw just annihilated that Clodsire
Crawdaunt: If you recall our chat in the forums at Smogon, you know that I have the same coverage as you.
Samurott-Hisui: Then this will be a good fight.
Crawdaunt: With the exception that I have a newer version of the movepool.
"Crawdaunt is one of the most epic Pokémon of all time"
Common Jimothy W
"Whats the switch in? Name the switch in. Sinistcha? No it isn't."
I'm dying I am now a crawdaunt fan
Theres something so satisfying about watching stall teams crumble to an underrated powerhouse. I used Alolan Marowak a lot in gen 8 OU (alongside banded Urshifu-S before it got banned) and smacked stall teams around effortlessly.
"Rocky helmet doesn't proc like that"
That's probably because you knocked off the helmet the previous turn
I'm one of the smartest Players of all time.
so true
Crawdaunt is the rare pokemon that got better over time, it was nu for its first two gens and then rose to ru and then uu after that
You gotta thank the Dreamworld gods for giving it Adaptability for it’s HA *cough* Meganium *cough* Electivire *cough*
Also gotta thank the buffed Knock Off and Crabhammer for that too
__Called 911 but Mr Craw was on the phone__
I’m waiting for Jimothy to compile the lore he has in the intros into one video.
outstanding crab video here folks
I think Mr. Craw will literally always be amazing because all the slow fat mons can't handle it. Adaptability + Knock and Crabhammer is just sooooo overwhelming. There's no single stall contender that can stop him.

larry the lobster is epic
mr craw is such a baller he smokes noses in battle and even has enough street cred to have the pokedex tell him hes one mean joint.
Thank you for this information Young Pewdiepie

There's always a fish for everyone. It's the beauty of water types!
crawdaunt is my favorite pokemon glad to see another appreciator of the craw out there
i always forget that mega crawdaunt isn´t an official pokemon
Jimothy that's a lobster man
If only Ash allowed his Corphish to evolve
4:19 I eonder why Rocky Hrlmet didn't activate on the 2nd Knockoff.
That is a big mystery.

Now this was truly an epic match, thank you mr crab
he got that crab in em
Nice, thanks for this video. Crawdaunt is my favorite pokemon.
Crawdaunt is just. Such a cool pokemon to me. I love how its this high skill ceiling cannon, that when used correctly just RIPS through teams
“observe”
This guy knows how dragons dance while garchomp who is a dragon doesnt
Jimothy really got my brain registering Sinistcha as "Iron Chugulis" and I hate it.
Like I'm watching other Poketubers constantly checking myself wondering "wtf is a Sinistcha"... Oh !
when just an ability- move combo makes a pokemon amazing
Just got to top 100 on gen 7 ou with a rain team, in the last game crawdaunt delivered the final blow. Thank you jimothy, never will i ever lose to stall again😌😌😌
Crawdaunt is definitely one of the Pokemon of all time
Fr one of my favourite pokemon to use. It just does ridiculous damage to anything
The agency approves of this message
MR CRAW IS CALLING, AND IF YOU DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE HE WILL COME PICK IT FOR YOU
What a u-turn situation the opponent brought about. Did he consider clicking something that wasn't a pivot move? The world may never know
Crawdaunt was one of my fave mon to get in gen 7 Showdown's random battles, like even without dd it was super fun to use so i'm not surprised it could perfom greatly in gen 9 uu!
You and Blunder studied the craw
"So Rocky Helmet doesnt work in this scenario who knew that" Sir you knocked the damn helmet off last hit, not even a full turn ago lmao
MR CRAW ON DA PHONE 💀
Mr. Craw... 📞📞📞
i feel like crawdaunt always got more use out of adaptability than some other recipients of that ability due to it's excellent stab types and stab moves
It's so criminal there are monotype adaptability pokemon
Real Agents ALWAYS pick up for Mr. Craw 📞
This is the cost of working with blunder
Mr. Craw always answers the call.
fun fact until now this video is not yet showed up on youtube
Fucking love this thing. It and Durant are my absolute fav physical threats.
my niche in the jimothy cool format is recognizing the deus ex references
You know Jim is a legendary gamer when you can hear the mouse clicks.
In 2017 I was in Boston to enjoy a crab sandwich and suddenly crawdaunt appeared and fucking killed me. I am still dead to this day.
this is actually what happened to the gholdengo on the thumbnail
Gholdengo was having a nice day spinblocking and eating crab sandwhiches and then Gholdengo wacked it with an adaptability boosted Knock off
🦀📞 Mr. Craw is callin‼️
You picking up?? 💯🔥
Truly a Mr Craw classic
there's a reason crawdaunt was called "crawdaddy" back in collage
Hey Jimothy, what is the background music that starts at 2:10? Sounds like the title theme to Final Fantasy I with some Zelda mixed in
Jimothy giving his respect to a prime agency member.
MR CRAW FEATURE 📞📞📞📞📞
Nothing in this game feels better then getting Craw in safety on something it outspeeds and knowing they have no switch-ins only sacks.
Everyone here talking about crabs when we should be worrying about Old Money´s next financial move
