Since Pokemon GO Crabominable can access different types of moves, it may be challenging to select the best moves. For a move to be the best, it needs to work perfectly with Crabominable and must have high damage output. It should also be able to activate the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) effect.

However, there are cases where using the STAB power decreases the Damage Per Second (DPS) and Total Damage Output (TDO) variables.

Best PvP moveset for Crabominable:

  • Fast Move: Bubble
  • Charged Moves: Ice Punch and Brick Break

Best PvE moveset for Crabominable:

  • Fast Move: Rock Smash
  • Charged Move: Crabhammer

Note that Crabominable should not use its STAB potential Fast Move in a PvP battle. In addition, it should not use a different Charged Move other than Crabhammer in PvE. This new setup can dwindle DPS and TDO.

Avoid using Crabominable in the PvP battle format, which is the GO Battle League, because it is not good in it. The monster is not suited for the Great, Ultra, and Master League. According to PvPoke, Crabominable is just a bad Ice and Fighting-type Pokemon.

However, the creature can land 14.40 damage per second with its PvE moveset. With a TDO of 357.75, Crabominable becomes a decent pick to attack Raids and Gym fights in Pokemon GO. Therefore, it is better in PvE play than in PvP play in the game.
