20 Severely Underrated Pokémon That Deserve A Second Chance
13. Crawdaunt
As a Water/Dark type, Crawdaunt is one of the rare Pokémon that's able to really make the most of Dark type moves. While many may employ moves like Crunch or Night Slash regardless of their type, Crawdaunt gets the benefit of STAB - 'Same Type Attack Bonus'.
For anyone who doesn't know, STAB basically means a Pokémon gets a 50% boost to the effectiveness of a move that's the same type they are. With Dark moves being popular for their tendency to have many added effects, it's not surprising that they are popular.
Crawdaunt is able to make the most of these and some mightily powerful Water type moves with its high attacking stats, and either of its regular abilities are great for preserving its Attack stat or negating Critical Hits respectively.
