Crabrawler can be only be found in Berry Piles scattered throughout Alola. These can be found on Routes 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 17, as well as Berry Fields, Poni Plains, Poni Wilds, and Secluded Shore.
Crabrawler is the perfect example of a Pokémon that dominates the early game, but falls short later on. With an advantage over the first totem Pokémon, as well as other early game troubles such as Gladion's Type: Null or Sina's Ice types in Moon. Crabrawler can make the first island or two a piece of cake.
What stops Crabrawler from truly shining is its incredibly late evolution. Crabrawler won't be any more powerful than it is on the first island until just before the Elite Four, meaning it will have to rely on the Eviolite for the majority of the game. However, even with these shortcomings, Crabrawler can add a fun attacker to any team.
Totem Gumshoos/Raticate (Verdant Cavern): This is probably Crabrawler's easier time taking a win. Getting Brick Break right before this fight helps a lot, making Totem Gumshoos a 2-3HKO depending on your level, and Totem Raticate is a guaranteed OHKO because of the quadruple weakness. Don't be afraid to heal or use the X Defend against Gumshoos if needed though, as Crabrawler's HP isn't exactly stellar.
Hau (Route 3):Pikachu can be fought with caution, as Brick Break is a guaranteed 2HKO while Electro Ball is a 3HKO. Be careful because a crit will turn it into a 2HKO with Pikachu being faster. Litten and Popplio can be fought and 2HKO'd by Brick Break. Leave Rowlet to something that can hit it for weakness though.
