Guide
No, this build isnt troll, i actually use it in my games and have about a 66% WR. The idea behind it is to non-stop fight any enemy you see. Cramorant can easily take 1v1s if you land surf and hurricane, and with his ult you can take on more than one.
Level 1, take whirlpool, use it on the first aipom and the group of 2 later down the lane. Ready a boosted attack, and fight the enemies at the mid corphish, dont even take it. Use feather dance to lower their movement speed and attack and use whirlpool, standing inside it. You get a free fish when you walk into your whirlpool. An enemy should be KOd if you and your ally focus the same target, if not, just score in their faces. Flash if you have to. Your score shield will make the enemy unable to stop you so long as you dont have too many points on you. Ignore the enemies at this point and try to use whirlpool on their aipoms to steal before you get KOd. Whirlpool has so many hits that its pretty easy to last hit. Turn in each time you take one. Scoring 5 points with score shield is basically garunteed, and each time you do you get a good amount of hp back. If this doesn't tilt the enemies, i dont know what will. When you eventually get KO'd, scan your topside jungle for any excess energy on the ground on the way back up. If there is some, grab it, and repeat til drednaw. Your level will be even, if not higher, than your lane opponents since wild pokemon and the turn ins give good exp early game. Let your ally take the aipoms on your side UNLESS you have 0 points on you.
When dred spawns, do the same thing bot lane. Try to be there around 7:40 before the timers even come up. Nobody will expect you to come down already and surf/hurricane combo someone, which will chunk someone so hard that any follow up from any teammate will result in a few KOs, tilting them as well. Afterwards, just keep walking forward and keep scoring. If enemies are hugging their goal, surf can actually drag them out since it knocks enemies in the direction of the wave upon returning. When you get ko'd, you'll be back before dred actually spawns.
Mid/late game go where the enemies are and just keep fighting them, even if its 1v4 and you get bursted instantly. You'll keep enemies busy while your team racks up farm and other objectives, for example, if youre top lane when 2nd dred spawns and youre just scoring, someone will come for you, and 1v1 with your ult you cant lose. A good play can even net you a 1v2 or 1v3.
At max only carry ~15 energy. You can turn in before anyone can perform any action after using the jump pad. Jump pads cant stop you since you have score shield.
Of course, be smart with your INTing, and outplay enemies when you can. Your goal is to be the most annoying enemy anyone has ever faced and leave your teammates questioning everything they know when you suddenly get a triple or quadra kill for no reason other than standing there and landing your combo on a group of enemies.
