Crabominable Severely Underrated Through Story Mode?

Minus the fact that for a while you can't evolve Crabrawler it actually offers a bunch of coverage around the time of the Elite 4. I know it probably isn't the best competitively (unless maybe in trick room), and I know it's.....um....special looking XD

But man this thing owns a lot of things in this game. Do you have one? Did you use it through the main story? I nicknamed mine Clubber after the character Clubber Lang from Rocky III. I thought it was a cool name. Was going to name him Balboa but my Lycanroc's name was Rocko so yeah XD

I wanted to use one, but because Crabrawler evolves so late, I used something else.

But I like its design and its probably my favourite crab Pokemon.

Crabominable has a great typing offensively and I like it's strong, yet goofy features.

It is brought down by many issues, though.

1. it's yet another bulky Ice Type with no form of recovery, let alone, a reliable form of it.
2. It's very slow, like many of the new Alolan Pok?mon.
3. It has a hard time against the Elite Four.
4. The fact that it evolves so late into the game is not worth keeping a somewhat mediocre Pok?mon around. Charjabug is also guilty of this.

I actually found it very useful in the Elite 4 tbh. It can mess up Olivia's team and some of Acerola's team are part grass or flying type. Also If you chose Primarina most of Kukui's team has no defense against it. You can mess up Decidueye, Lyconroc, Magnezone, Snorlax, and for Hau you can drop his Leafeon and Komala.

Also it can deal well with most of Ryuki's team as well as that of Gladion, Molayne, Hapu, and Youngster Tristan,

Crabominable was a great part of my team in my first playthrough. I never intended to use it but once i caught it i just couldn't put it in the PC and it ended up being pretty helpful to tank some hits and deal major damage. It was definitely a situational pokemon but it did its job well for me
