Guide
*DISCLAIMER*
Need to know how to position your skill shots
Once you got that down then its smooth sailing from there.
QUICK TIP
First use Surf whether a fight is breaking out or not so you prep your passive Gulp Missile. From there you can:
Gulp Missile -> Skill -> Gulp Missile -> Skill -> Gulp Missile for maximum damage.
EARLY GAME
Try to go top lane and use your Whirlpool to farm. Place your Whirlpool slightly ahead of the wild pokemon so they walk into it thus making you deal the full damage output of your skill.
When in lane it is very easy to steal enemy wild pokemon with your skills while they are hitting it as long as you time it correctly which isn't that hard. A trick to do it more stealthily is to hide in one of the many bushes to cast your skills.
Speaking of hiding in bushes, I think what makes or breaks between a good and great Cramorant is how they position themselves in the lane. Use the bushes to your advantage and your skills aim and zoning potential will be greatly increased.
MID GAME
Always go Hurricane & Surf. The CC is extremely valuable no matter what situation you're in and the damage output is already off the charts with this Pokemon anyway. It is very easy to chain these two even through auto targeting.
Cramorant is also a very good counter to Gengar who is super OP at this current patch. Anyone who dashes on you, you can place Hurricane on yourself and Surf in the direction you're running to so they also get pushed back.
LATE GAME
Be sure to calculate your Unite move and have it for the Zapdos fight. Your Unite move can change everything in that fight while you're just a literal unkillable tank that does way too much damage.
ITEMS
Focus Band: Hidden OP because it gives you that extra tankiness that opponents don't expect.
Buddy Barrier: The extra shield is incredibly valuable as you will get focused once you use your Unite move but you actually gain almost your whole health bar with this item.
Energy Amplifier: Use your Unite move more often AND boosts damage after.
