Cramorant@LeftoversAbility: Gulp MissleEVs:252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 SpABold Nature- Surf- Roost- Defog- Amnesia / Air Slash
Surf is STAB and it gets the Arrokuda / Pikachu in his mouth. Roost heals, Defog gets rid of hazards and you can either use Amnesia for to boost SpD or Air Slash for STAB.
Gen 8 ZUCramorant @ Heavy-Duty BootsAbility: Gulp MissileEVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 40 SpD / 16 SpeTimid Nature- Surf- Brave Bird- Defog- Roost
Basically the Defog set onhere,but with an up to date EV spread. Surf is water STAB that activates Gulp Missile, allowing you to do chip damage to Pokemon who attack you, and either lower opposing Pokémon’s defense of paralyze opposing Pokémon, depending on which form you’re in. Brave Bird is flying STAB and attacks Pokemon on their defense stat and takes advantage of the defense drop from Gulp Missile. Defog is for clearing entry hazards and is useful for getting rid of Grassy Terrain quickly. Roost is for healing that allows you to stay in the game longer. 252 HP is to help maximize bulk. 16 speed EVs allow you to outspeed max speed Adamant Centiskorch. 40 Special defense EVs allows to tank special hits. The rest of the EVs are in defense to help take physical moves better.
Cramorant @ Weakness PolicyAbility: Gulp MissileEVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 SpeNaive NatureIVs: 0 HP, 0 Def, 0 SpDef- Surf- Air Slash- Reversal- Endure
Use Endure when obvious Electric or Rock Move is coming to activate Weakness Policy. IVs and Nature are meant to lower your defenses & HP so that Reversal can do more damage easier. Surf and Endure allows you to continue to activate Gulp Missile and get it to resolve repeatedly.

Curry Bird (Cramorant) @ Focus Sash / Life OrbAbility: Gulp MissileShiny: YesEVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpeModest Nature- Surf- Hurricane- Ice Beam- Agility
Use on Rain teams. Surf is STAB + Rain boosted, and activates Gulp Missile. Hurricane is perfect accuracy, and Ice Beam is coverage. Agility is to boost Speed. I suggest using Focus Sash + Agility to guarantee a setup turn, but a Life Orb also works.
In doubles, an ideal partner to take Surf is something like Dracovish (4x resist, that can hit Strong Jaw Fishious Rends), or Ferrothorn, as they cover/resist most of each other’s weaknesses.
Have fun using this set, hope I helped!

Cramorant @ Enigma Berry / Wacan BerryAbility: Gulp MissileEVs: 252 Def / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Surf- Reversal / Ice Beam- Amnesia / Stockpolie- Belch
Holy geez, I haven’t seen people posting a Cramorant@AnyBerry using Belch. Now time to avenge the fallen Pokemon comrades hahaha.I recommend this moveset for killing bulky types, and watch out for stealth rock settlers
-Surf ( activates its unique ability and coverage against Fire, ground and rock types)-Reversal/Ice Beam (Good move for the defensive, and good counter against most stuff like annoying Steel or Normal Pokemons, or coverage against ground and dragon bulky types)-Amnesia/Stockpile (Raise its halfway-to-be DEF, or both defensive stats at a lower rate)-Belch (Good counter against Grass and Fairy types and also strong moves)
