Crustle's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Crustle PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Crustle doesn’t have high stats, and needless to say, it’s not good for PvE. It lacks raw power but has decent Defense.

💥 The best moves for Crustle in PvE are Fury Cutter and X-Scissor.

⚔️ Raids

Crustle is a usable Bug-type attacker, but that's only because Bug Pokémon aren't great in general. 🪲 It doesn’t bring any real value, though. 😬

🛡️ Gyms

On paper, Crustle looks like a solid gym defender with 200 Defense. However, its Bug/Rock typing is problematic since it only resists Normal and Poison, while being weak to Rock, Steel, and Water. So, at best, it’s an average gym defender.

Crustle PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

💥 The best moves for Crustle in PvP are Fury Cutter, X-Scissor, and Rock Slide.

🔵 Great League

Bug- and Rock-type offense isn’t particularly useful in the Great League. No wonder Crustle secures only a few wins, which are expected from its moveset. Not good! 😐

🟡 Ultra League

Bug- and Rock-type moves are more useful in the Ultra League, but now Crustle faces two major issues:
1️⃣ There are far better Bug- and Rock-type Pokémon in the Ultra League.
2️⃣ A lack of resistances and the abundance of Steel- and Water-types (its weaknesses) make it difficult for Crustle to survive. 🥲

🟣 Master League

Wishful thinking, but no—Crustle fails massively in the Master League. 😶
