Crustle (Japanese: イワパレス Iwapalace) is a dual-type Bug/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Dwebble starting at level 34.

Biology

Crustle without its rock

Crustle is an orange Pokémon resembling an insect or crustacean. Its most distinguishing feature is its enormous, hard shell, which resembles a cut-away block of sediment with multiple layers and strata visible. The tips of its pincers and six feet are dark gray. It has two glaring yellow eyes. Crustle possesses a straight tail that is concealed underneath its shell.

It is very strong, to the point that it can carry heavy rocks for a long time, even through arid lands where it resides. It fights members of its species over territory in battles which can become very vicious. If its shell breaks during such a fight, it loses. When Crustle's shell breaks, it will become weaker and unsure of itself. Crustle's biggest strength is its thick claws; being strong enough to break even Rhyperior's sturdy carapace.
