Thread: Kingler vs. Crawdaunt

I don't know about you guys, but look at this!



Look at those muscular legs, those big, beautiful claws, those eyes that seem to say, "Pay up, heh heh!"

I mean, whenever I look at that thing, I think of Beavis. Honest. Dunno why, though.

So, uh, yeah, I'll vote Crawdaunt since I just freaked myself out right there.

Kingler. Anything that walks sideways gets my vote. It also looks better than Crawdaunt.

Crawdaunt because... he's cool? And he's part Dark. So yeah.

Crawdaunt FTW! But seriously this is hard to pick since I love both Pokemon, but Crawdaunt gets it because I used in as a main team member in Sapphire. Kingler never got onto my team in Gen I due to my Blastoise.

Crawdaunt. Even though it's team aqua's pokemon and it part of the bad team, it still has a good design.

lobstar tastes better then crab

besides... gotta surport my dark types

I've used Kingler in the past games and in hg/ss. I adore its huge attack power but it has limited movepool.
I'd go for Crawdaunt. It also has huge attack power. And can learn Dragon Dance to cover up it's pathetic speed.

voted for Crawdaunt - it has a star on his head. that's so manly!

I dunno. I've never really used either in battle, and never had a particular inclination to use either. Of the two, though, Crawdaunt has more strategic potential with its added Dark typing, while I definitely prefer Kingler's design. It's a trade-off for me, but since I lean toward Pokémon whose appearances I like rather than just battle usability, I personally prefer Kingler.

Kingler has one giant arm that could choke most of the small Pokemon to death. Kingler gets my vote.

Crawdaunt. If they had a fight, Kingler would be screwed. Even though Kingler is faster, he can only walk sideways, and because of his GIANT FRICKEN CLAW, he cant jump. However, even though Crawdaunt Base Speed is 20 points lower then Kingler's, he is able to run and jump in any direction. Though Kinglers claw may be huge and powerful, it is heavy and reduces mobility as well as accuracy. It also makes him tired very quickly. All crawdaunt would have to do is run in circles and wear Kingler out. But, in terms of Apperance, Kingler wins by a longshot. Crawdaunt looks kinda like a bug, and that abnormal star-shaped growth on his head? I just dont like it.

In order to see Kingler for what he truely is, you have to look past the equation Big Claw=Powers, and also consider the equation Mobility-Big Claw.

BEST POWER EFFICIENCY:


BEST APPEARANCE:


CONCLUSION:
The worth of having either on the average Pokemon teams is, based on what the team is for, is a tie.

I really like Kingler's depiction in the anime (can't get enough of that Cookie monster!), but Crawdaunt is more useful and better-looking overall.

I voted Kingler. I prefer his design over Crawdaunt's.

Which do you like more? Crawdaunt.

Which would win in a battle? Crawdaunt, because it has access to more diverse moves.

Which is more useful? Crawdaunt.

Besides, Crawdaunt has the better design.

Crawdaunt.
Game wise, I like Crawdaunt's cry better than Kinger and has dark STAB, plus it's a water type I would use if I don't choose Mudkip :L

Crawdaunt for sure. D8 Dark and edgy is cool.
