Crunch Competitive Analysis

Crunch is a great Dark-type move wit hits high 80 base power. Due to the sheer amount of Pokemon that can learn the move, Crunch is often the premier STAB or coverage Dark-type move. In addition to these, Crunch also has a 20% chance of lowering the target's Defense stat.

However, if you have access to moves like Darkest Lariat or even Lash Out, we suggest considering those moves as well.
