1v1 Crustle

[PA]

Crustle @ Choice Band
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 104 HP / 236 Atk / 28 Def / 140 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Wrecker
- Bulldoze
- Counter / Rock Blast
- Heavy Slam / Counter

Notoriously known as the crustacean bug within the metagame, Crustle lives up to its reputation as one of the most potent wallbreakers in 1v1. Rock Wrecker's monumental power when combined with a Choice Band destroys most Pokemon that don't resist it, such as Porygon-Z and Primarina. Bulldoze is useful against Magnezone, allowing Crustle to outspeed and 2HKO it. Counter helps deter threats that carry a Choice Band like Rillaboom and Haxorus. Rock Blast nails Substitute Pokemon that aim to capitalize on the free turn after Crustle uses Rock Wrecker like Volcarona. Due to the prevalence of Fairy-types, Heavy Slam neuters Crustle's weakness to non-Babiri Berry Sylveon and Aromatisse. X-Scissor hits Pokemon like Slowbro, which otherwise can tank Rock Wrecker and use the next free turn to set up. Crustle, however, is prone to stall Pokemon like Chansey, Arcanine, and Galarian Corsola, so stallbreakers like Porygon-Z, Fake Tears Sylveon, and Swords Dance Haxorus pair well with it.

Crustle @ Choice Band
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 104 HP / 236 Atk / 28 Def / 140 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Wrecker
- Counter / Rock Blast I'd make Counter a main slash, now that i'm seeing rock blast's limited viability
- Bulldoze switch this w/ rock blast, more important to the overall set
- Heavy Slam / Counter

Notoriously known as the crustacean Bug, Crustle lives up to its reputation as one of the most potent wallbreakers in 1v1. Rock Wrecker's monumental power, when combined with Choice Band, destroys most Pokemon that don't resist it give examples. Rock Blast, despite being reliant on rolls, nails many Substitute Pokemon that aim to capitalize on Rock Wrecker's recharge like Substitute Disable Dragapult this isn't very reliable at all. A sub is gonna take 2 rock blasts, if it has any bulk, and next turn they just disable like normal, unless you get high multi hits and Volcarona. Bulldoze covers the ever-present Magnezone from outspeeding and 2HKOing it. switch rock blast w/ bulldoze. Due to the prevalence of Fairy-types, Heavy Slam helps neuter its weakness to non-Babiri Berry Sylveon and Aromatisse, while Counter can counteract Choice Band threats like Rillaboom, Haxorus, and Sawk. People insisted X-Scissor be move mentioned, bc it can beat some Slowbro variants. Crustle, however, is prone to Stall Pokemon like Chansey, Slowbro, and Arcanine, so stallbreakers like Porygon-Z, Fake Tears Sylveon, and Swords Dance Haxorus, pairs well.

overall nice. tag me when implemented and I'll check again

Notoriously known as the crustacean Bug, Crustle lives up to its reputation as one of the most potent wallbreakers in 1v1. Rock Wrecker's monumental power, when combined with Choice Band, destroys most Pokemon that don't resist it like Porygon-Z, Primarina, and Choice Band Snorlax not a v good example, they can run heavy slam and usually avoids an ohko. two is fine Bulldoze covers the ever-present Magnezone from outspeeding and 2HKOing it. Counter is useful for Choice Band threats like Rillaboom, Choice Item Haxorus, and Sawk wait wut Sawk wins anyway, gonna 2hko. Rock Blast nails Substitute Pokemon that aim to capitalize on Rock Wrecker's recharge like Volcarona. X-Scissor gains STAB and hits Pokemon like some Slowbro variants which otherwise can tank Rock Wrecker and use its recharge to set-up. Due to the prevalence of Fairy-types, Heavy Slam helps neuter its weakness to non-Babiri Berry Sylveon and Aromatisse. move X-Scissor down here, since its a move mention Crustle, however, is prone to Stall Pokemon like Chansey, Slowbro Galarian Corsola just say this since u just said you can beat some slowbro, and Arcanine, so stallbreakers like Porygon-Z, Fake Tears Sylveon, and Swords Dance Haxorus, pairs well.

Notoriously known as the crustacean bug within the metagame (gonna assume this is what you meant because i can't think of any other context where you would call crustle "notorious'), Crustle lives up to its reputation as one of the most potent wallbreakers in 1v1. Rock Wrecker's monumental power, (RC) when combined with a Choice Band, (RC) destroys most Pokemon that don't resist it like, (AC) such as Porygon-Z and Primarina. Bulldoze is useful against Magnezone, allowing Crustle to outspeed and 2HKO it. Counter helps deter Choice Band threats that carry a Choice Band like Rillaboom and Haxorus. Rock Blast nails Substitute Pokemon that aim to capitalize on the free turn after Crustle uses Rock Wrecker's recharge like Volcarona. Due to the prevalence of Fairy-types, Heavy Slam neuters its Crustle's weakness to non-Babiri Berry Sylveon and Aromatisse. X-Scissor hits Pokemon like Slowbro, (AC) which otherwise can tank Rock Wrecker and use its recharge the next free turn to set up (spacing). Crustle, however, is prone to stall Pokemon like Chansey, Arcanine, and Galarian Corsola, so stallbreakers like Porygon-Z, Fake Tears Sylveon, and Swords Dance Haxorus, (RC) pairs well with it.
