Crustle (Japanese: イワパレス, Hepburn: Iwaparasu) (KRUS-tul) is a Bug/Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

A Crustle without its shell.

Crustle is a red and brown colored crab-like Pokémon with a large block of stone that resembles a sedimentary rock on its back that it uses as a shell. The rocky shell is striped with various shades of brown and orange. Its body is red-orange, and it has six small legs, as well as two large front claws.

Like its pre-evolution, Dwebble, Crustle is able to come out of its shell.

Behavior

Crustle are able to survive for long periods of time without water, which is often scarce in their arid habitats. In fact, they dislike direct contact with the substance, retreating beneath their shells during even light rains. To fashion their shells, Crustle will carve blocks of dirt and stone from the solid earth directly beneath their feet. They are highly territorial and will compete with nearby Crustle for control of choice swathes of land. When fighting for territory, Crustle will attempt to shatter the shells of their opponents. Competitors with broken shells relinquish all of their land; they also become timid and weak, as they are unable to defend themselves until they can build new shells. Because Crustle carve their shells from the ground within their domains, Crustle from different areas will often sport rocks with differently-colored strata. Crustle appear to be able to distinguish foreign and native visitors from each other based on these alternately-colored layers. Though they dislike confrontation, their claws are strong enough to crack a Rhyperior's carapace, and they will wield them fiercely if they feel their shells are threatened.

Location

Dwebble and Crustle usually live in mountains. But in Kalos they located at coastal.

They live in Unova, Galar and Kalos (coastal)

Evolution

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

Crustle may comes from crust (referring to the Earth's crust), mantle, crustacean, and possibly castle.

Its Japanese name, Iwaparasu, comes from iwa (stone) and palace.
