Playing with Crustle allows you to go into full defense mode, but you may also increase its attack and special attack damage in order to trap and defeat enemies. With the large boulder on your back as assistance, you will need to use powerful attacks to take control of the fight field as this Pokémon.

What is the moveset of Pokémon Unite Crustle?
Since Crustle is a defensive Pokémon, you'll need to use caution while using it and retreat when necessary. We've included all the information you want about Crustle's moveset here, along with our recommendation for the ideal build to ensure you assemble the strongest defense possible.
Passive assault by Crustella
| Move name | Attack type | Description |
| Sturdy | Passive | As HP decreases, defence and special defence increase |
Crustle's skills in the early game
You can use both of Crustle's early game powers between levels one and three, but you have to choose one before the other. Therefore, in order to level up and clear the arena more quickly, we advise using Fury Cutter.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Rock slide | Area | Six seconds | Drops large rocks that deal AoE damage and stun opposing Pokémon |
| Furry cutter | Melee | 3.5 seconds | Slashes opponents with claws, dealing damage that increases with each successive hit |
The mid-game skills of Crustle
You have to choose between two skills at level four. We believe that choosing shell smash at this time in the middle of the game is a wise choice since it will increase your attack and special attack damage, allowing Crustle to go on the offensive.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Rock tomb | Area | Five seconds | Split open the ground and create a rock wall that deals damage to any opposing Pokémon. Upgrading decreases the movement speed of opponents for a short time on impact |
| Shell smash | Buff | Seven seconds | Converts a set percentage of defence and special defence into attack and special attack by smashing Crustle’s shell. It also increases movement speed for a short time. Upgrading increases this move’s conversion rate |
Crustle's capacity for late game
It's time to choose between two skills once again at level six. At this moment, we advise selecting x-scissor to advance the action and provide offensive power to help your other teammates.
| Move name | Attack type | Cooldown | Description |
| Stealth rock | Area | Eight seconds | Creates a zone of levitating rocks that deal damage to opposing Pokémon over time. Upgrading increases the duration of this move’s effect, and decreases the movement speed of opposing Pokémon for a short time |
| X-scissor | Melee | Nine seconds | Dashes forward and claws opponents multiple times, dealing damage and displacing them. If opposing Pokémon hit an obstacle, this move will also stun them. Upgrading reduces this move’s cooldown |
The end-game skills of Crustle
You eventually discover Crustle's Unite move, rubble rouser, during the last game. Crustle's defense is based on damaging and impeding opponents with rocks. He will be stubbing any opponents attempting to flee with this technique, which he will use to deliver those last-minute strikes.
| Move name | Attack type | Description |
| Rubble rouser | Buff | Crustle gains a shield for a short time and throws exploding rocks that damage and stun nearby opponents. If Crustle receives damage, additional hits are sent out to nearby opponents |
