I run the same set as trachy, but I use superpower instead of brick break to deal with the things brick break couldn't ohko. The power increase is substantial, and with a dragon dance or two under your belt, the attack and defense reduction won't hurt too bad. Priority is something to watch out for, of course, with the only priority moves Crawdaunt is weak to being mach punch and vacuum wave (both of which are readily predictable)

Answer 1

This is a great direction for a Craudaunt's moveset!

The only two things that I would recommend is to get Crabhammer over waterfall, and to get Dragon Dance over Swords Dance.

Crabhammer may seem like it's inaccurate, but it's even more accurate than common attacks like Thunder, Blizzard, and even Iron Tail! Not to mention that it has a higher Base Power and a high Critical Hit-Ratio to boot. Still, if you're on the fence abut that issue, then I'd go with Waterfall.

Dragon Dance is great on Crawdaunt, mostly because it takes its Attack stat to an even higher number, and gives it a nice Speed boost. Crawdaunt's Speed is at the perfect number to use Dragon Dance, because 55 Base Speed can hit as high as 110 Base Speed when it's maxed with D.Dance. This allows Crawdaunt to really outrun a lot of key targets, and hit them like a train with its newly acquired 240 Base Attack.

These are my only opinions, because this is really a great moveset for Crawdaunt. It pushes towards its strongest points and niches, and makes them better with Attack boosts!

Answer 2

You Make not like Ice Beam here but. How about Avalanche? Covers Grass. body Slam isnt that good. Avalanche would be much better.
As Narwhals1 said, Crabhammer is another option instead of Waterfall(though I like waterfall better). With this moveset, you want to be slower so no Dragon Dance(too bad he cant learn hammer arm!) Rock Slide might be good to cover the Bug weakness.

Overall, I would go with Swords Dance, Avalanche, Crunch, and Waterfall.

Hope this Helps!

So hard to choose the best answer. However, you give weakness coverage combined with an effective attacking strategy.

- Crunch
- Superpower
- Retaliate

I love this Guy's revenge killing capabilities!
Crabhammer and Crunch for High Power STAB, and Adaptability boost makes it beastly.
Super Power is the classic, Nail e'm and run strategy, along with Retaliate, making for a 140 power coverage move, so its great for revenge killing.

Answer 5

Crawdaunt @ Life Orb

Trait: Adaptability

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SpA)

• Dragon Dance
• Crabhammer/Waterfall
• Crunch
• X-Scissor/Substitute/Taunt

Boss Adapdability set.
Dragon Dance gives an awesome boost and boosts its Spe and Atk.
Crabhammer is STAB with a nice chance of crit and boosted by adapdability. Waterfall is a decent alternative and can be used if you've gotten some nasty surprises in battles with 90 accuracy moves, or just prefer the full accuracy over more power.
Crunch is boosted by STAB and Adaptability as well, and gives further coverage.
X-Scissor hits Grass types for good damage and rounds out the coverage a bit, Substitute can be used to block annoying status, and Taunt can also block annoying status and stops the foe from being up to shenanigans.

Answer 6

• Ability: Adaptability
• Item: ur choice
• Waterfall- reliable STAB and power doubles due to adaptability
• Crunch- best physical dark move and power doubles due to adaptability
• Dragon Dance/Swords Dance- DD gives you boosted speed but if you choose Avalanche go with swords dance
• Aerial Ace/Avalanche/Earthquake- AA never misses and defeats grass and fighting weakness, Avalanche works great w/ bad speed, Earthquake defeats electric weakness

Crawdaunt (M) @ Focus Sash

• Dragon Dance
• Waterfall
• Crunch
• Brick Break

Comments

That is exactly the same set as in my answer XD.

---

Nice set, but consider aerial ace, as it covers 3/4 weaknesses. Brick break just covers steel types, of which the only real threat is ferrothorn. Also consider baton-passing an agility to crawdaunt so he can really bring the heat as a sweeper when you give him swords dance in his moveset instead of dragon dance. Lastly, crawdaunt has a decent base 90 SpAtk, so hidden power fire may not be a bad option if you sacrifice the swords dance to be able to counter Ferrothorn (no helmet/thorn damage taken, covers your bug weakness too)

Answer 9

Ehh , I kinda like Crawdaunt.

Adamant
Crawdaunt ( M ) Nature: Hyper Cutter

Waterfall: STAB Important move. Great move for STAB and Swords Dance

Swords Dance: Makes Waterfall , Night Slash and Crunch a good move.

Night Slash: STAB Useful move for everything. Swords Dance makes it powerful.

Crunch: STAB Swords Dance makes it more powerful.

Now this is mah moveset and I hope ( I hope hope hope hopeeeeee ) this helps you.

Answer 10

My Crawdaunt knows..

Adamant Nature (+Atk,-SpAtk)
Item: Razor Claw
Ability: Adaptability or Shell Armor

-Crabhammer/Waterfall:
Crabhammer takes advantage of Razor Claw for more Critical-Hits. Waterfall is a STAB move and can flinch.

-Crunch/Night Slash:
Crunch is a STAB move and lower's defense. Night Slash also takes advantage of Razor Claw for more Critical-Hits.

-Aerial Ace:
Never misses. Deals with Grass, Fighting, and Bug types. Decent with Crawdaunt's Atk.

-Dig:
Deals with Electric types. Great with Crawdaunt's Atk. Look out for Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude.
