The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Shield

    Its thick claws are its greatest weapons. They’re mighty enough to crack Rhyperior’s carapace.

  • Sword

    This highly territorial Pokémon prefers dry climates. It won’t come out of its boulder on rainy days.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    Competing for territory, Crustle fight viciously. The one whose boulder is broken is the loser of the battle.

  • Omega Ruby

    It possesses legs of enormous strength, enabling it to carry heavy slabs for many days, even when crossing arid land.

1 more entries from older games
  • White 2

    When its boulder is broken in battles for territory, it feels unsure and begins to weaken.
