In-Depth Analysis
Krabby totals 325 across its base stats, profiling as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Lean on its Attack (105) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Special Attack (25).
Its Water typing leaves Krabby with 2 weaknesses against 4 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
With a catch rate of 225, Krabby is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
