Crustle

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

Appearance
Crustle is a red and brown colored crab-like Pokémon with a large stone or dirt pile on its back that it uses as a shell. The shell alternates brown and red stripes.



Evolution
Crustle is the evolved form of Dwebble as of level 34.

In the anime
Shortly after being sent into battle against Team Rocket, Cilan's Dwebble evolved into Crustle and used its newly learned Rock Wrecker to defeat Jessie's Woobat.

Design
Like its pre-evolution, Dwebble, Crustle is based on a hermit crab.

Etymology
Crustle's English name appears to be a portmanteau of "crust" and "mantle", which are the first two layers of the Earth's surface.
