Crawdaunt + trick room?
For a start, is this doable? I know it will be out-slowed by things such as slowbro, but could this work as a TR sweeper?
CrawdauntAdaptabilityBrave nature (+atk, -spd)EV’s: 252atk, 252spdef, 4defHeld item: life orb or expert belt?
Crabhammer-stab, high critical hit ratio, great powerCrunch/night slash-stab, also great powerSuperpower-for ferrothorn, the only thing that could otherwise wall Crawdaunt.Swords dance- boost his already huge power
Defense ev’s give him a but more bulk to survive some hits since his def is not that great, especially spdef. Adaptability + swords dance will make his attacks beastly. I guess my question is: is he slow enough to be a viable trick room sweeper?
Edit: his base 55 speed makes him slower than rampardos

Okay, here are my speculations.Yes, Crawdaunt is a beastly Trick Room sweeper, and while it is a little fast for a TR sweeper, Slowbro wouldn’t be able to do much to it before eating an Adaptability Crunch, and nobody uses Rapmardos outside off NU/RU and even in RU it isn’t so common, meaning that RU is probably the best tier for it, unless you’re running it in OU rain. I am also going to change your set a little bit. Change his 252 Def EVs to 252 HP for more overall bulk, and drop Swords Dance, as Trick Room only lasts for 5 turns and after switching in and setting up, you’ll only have 3 tusn of Trick Room left until you can be properly revenge killed, so try dropping Swords Dance for Rock Slide. Life Orb will be a good item and definitely run Crunch over Night Slash.
Crawdaunt cannot learn trick room.
