Crabrawler looked rather promising. Its flavor text and design gave it a surprising amount of personality. Unfortunately, the same really couldn't be said for its evo. Crabominable not only looks ugly as hell, its lack of priority moves (Ice Shard, Mach Punch), speed, and/or bulk completely wastes its unique and powerful type combo. Not to mention that the only way to evolve this thing is to go to what is essentially the very last stage and level it up there, which feels like an incredibly pointless use of a feature that was already used since Gen IV. While it makes sense from a contextual standpoint (Crabrawler wants to be at the very literal top, apparently), the fact that Crabrawler pretty much appeared as an unevolved Com mon throughout the journey just makes raising Crabrawler a complete waste of time unless you either want a challenge or you have an acquaintance who already became the champion who has the patience to raise your Pokemon to at least one level.

While I prefer the Midnight form's design, it has some serious stat distribution issues. 85/75/75 ain't defending jack if you ask me, especially since Rock is pretty pitiful as a defensive type. Also, why doesn't it have the Dark type?

Lurantis is pretty much completely outclassed by Tsareena in almost literally every way.

On a lesser note, Komala's somewhat forgettable at first, but I'm amused by its dark lore and I'm intrigued by its gimmick in Comatose, which gives it an artificial Sleep status of sorts. Too bad its just as expendable as any other Normal type
