The Pokémon series has always had a very enjoyable sense of humour, and the appearance of something like Crabrawler demonstrates that this is just as vibrant as ever. Looking like a bruised, punch-drunk boxer from a 1950s' cartoon, this Pokémon definitely looks like it would happily take on all challengers, though the black eye does make you wonder how confident it should really leave you...

Surprisingly, despite what you may expect from the crab-like creature, it isn't actually a Water Type; Crabrawler is solely a Fighting Type Pokémon. Its moveset is well-filled with punching moves, meaning that if you can get one with its Iron Fist ability you'll have one heck of an attacker on your hands.

Crabrawler apparently despises losing, meaning it'll likely be a damned good partner for any competitive battler in the new generation. We all hate to lose battles online, so taking in a Pokémon that feels the same way is definitely a great choice!

Heaven knows what might happen if two face off against each other, mind you.
