Crustle (M) @ LeftoversTrait: SturdyEVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SDefImpish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)- Stealth Rock- Spikes- Rock Blast- X-Scissor

Crustle @ Salac BerryTrait: SturdyEVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpdJolly Nature- Earthquake- Shell Smash- Stone Edge/Rock Blast- X-Scissor

His EVs and Nature are best suited for sweeping, and the Salac Berry works really well with Sturdy to fix his low speed and allow him to sweep, as even a 2 Speed Crustle is slow. Shell Smash makes him baws, and Earthquake provides coverage. Stone Edge gives steady power but has low-ish accuracy, while Rock Blast varies in power but can break subs, your choice. X-Scissor is STAB as well and rounds off his excellent coverage. I advise you use him with Rapid Spin support, as the Salace Berry is not guaranteed to work without Sturdy, and hazards can stop that from happening.

Dwebble (M) @ Berry JuiceTrait: SturdyEVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 SpdIVs: 0 AtkLevel 1- Stealth Rock- Spikes

This is an effective Dwebble lead. You are almost guaranteed 3 hazards up. Stealth Rock, Sturdy activates, Berry Juice gets it to full, replenishing Sturdy.

Tank to Terror(Crustle) @Salac BerryEvs:252 Atk, 252 Spd, 4 HPTrait:SturdyNature:Naive (+Spd -Sp.D)Role: sweeping everthing in NU-Shell Smash-Flail-Night Slash-EarthquakeI have updated this for one reason,THIS!

Crustling (Crustle) @ Liechi Berry/Salac BerryAbility: SturdyEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpdAdamant Nature- X-Scissor- Stone Edge- Earthquake- Shell Smash

Set up a Shell Smash, and proceed to sweep. If your health gets down to Sturdy, you can get the Liechi Berry boost for Attack or Salac Berry for Speed if that’s what you prefer.

Crustling (Crustle) Item: Left overs or Something that helps tankAbility: SturdyEVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpdAdamant Nature- X-Scissor- Stone Edge or Rockslide- Shell Smash-Stealth RocksI say Stealth rocks instead of Earthquake because you get the hazard move off. I say Shell smash because it is a good way to setup. X Scissor get off that good attack, stone edge or Rock Slide to deal with all the CHARIZARD WANNA BE A SHELL SMASH HATER.

Here is my crustle move set :)You can use it for your crustle

Nickname: CrustyShiny: YesAbility: Shell ArmorNature: NaughtyItem: Silver Powder/Hard Stone/Iron Ball (You can experiment with these)EV’s: 252 Atk 252 Def 6 HP

• X-Scissor (STAB)• Smack Down (STAB)• Earthquake (Cuz why not )• Swords Dance (Boost other moves)

Gen 8 PUCrustle @ Heavy-Duty BootsAbility: SturdyEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Stone Edge- Shell Smash- Earthquake- X-Scissor

This is a Shell Smash set. Heavy Duty Boots prevents Crustle from having Sturdy broken from entry hazards such as Stealth Rock. Shell Smash to setup, then sweep. Stone Edge is STAB. Earthquake is for the EdgeQuake combo. X-Scissor is STAB.
