THE BEST CRUSTLE BUILD GUIDE - POKEMON UNITE

Early game is mostly a matter of using Rock Slide is the most aggravating way possible. Dwebble’s secure is a little poopie compared to other lane tanks, so your job will mainly be to zone off enemies from getting the neutral wilds, and timing your Rock Slides to stun them RIGHT when they go to secure something. A ranged 1sec stun like that is pretty nuts for early game. shoot for secures while stunning enemies, sometimes incorporating the damage of Rock Slide itself into the secure.

Unfortunately while lvl 4 is a nice stat spike in your defensives and HP pool, you are upgrading your non-damaging move, so you’ll still require help from your lanmate to get things done.
Rock Tomb can either save a teammate, spell doom for an overextended enemy, or block off a friend in a bad space all at the same time. This is a very high-judgment and polarizing move, but when used right can really be a difference maker. (It also can make some surprise farm secures with its huge range if the enemy isn’t expecting it, believe it or not.)

Rock Tomb Tank Set

More flat HP for tanking with, and makes your ultimate have the fattest shield in the world for maximum longevity

You are a tank wear the badge thingy

Supplementing your lanemate to always get 100% exp from every piece of farm is so broken, just do it.

Shell Smash peepeepoo sets

Crustle has indubitably sizable ratios on its X Scissor, which makes power lifting extremely appetizing for this hermit crab. watch as your crab grows to the size of a small portable home at max stacks.

Crustle’s eyesight is rather poor, so equipping scope lens gives Crustle the crit rate to utilize X Scissor’s ability to opportunistically crit.

This stupid piece of metal makes Crustle’s claws sharp. it also adds some flat atk and extra damage pressure in lane for fighting, along with being mega boosted by Shell Smash later in the game.

Level 6 is where you become a character. X-Scissor by itself really hurts and will threaten any squishy that gets tagged by it, but the real magic is in the wall stun portion of it. Pushing any enemies (YES PLURAL) into a wall with X-Sciss will stun them all for 1.5 secs on top of the fat damage. Now you’re probably saying to yourself “yeah sounds great Joe, as if people just hang around walls all day like Danny Zuko in Grease…”
Well timmy, guess what, pull your head out of your hermit crab shell because you have a wall in your pocket that you can throw out on a 5sec cd in Rock Tomb. Place that forbidden croissant anywhere you like and tripleslap things into it and be the frontlining tank your mama raised you to be.

BANGROCKS

Will fill later but basically same idea as main set, but Stealth Rocks helps apply pressure into more range-heavy comps that you can’t reasonably reach with X-Scissor. Combining Tomb wall with a Stealth Rock field makes it extremely hard for immobile mages to get out of the blender, and gives Curse Bangle high uptime (especially on goalpad pushes).
