Tips for Effectively Using Crustle in Pokemon GO

With Crustle’s vulnerabilities in Pokemon GO, it is best to go into a battle against him using any of the five Pokemon listed below, such as Steel Rock and Water Pokemon, which deals 160% damage:

• Metagross,
• Rampardos,
• Kingler,
• Kyogre and
• Dialga.

As Crustle is a Rock-type Pokémon, it specializes in attacking other Rock-type and Ground types in Pokemon GO. To maximize its effectiveness, the best move set for Crustle would be Smack Down followed by Rock Slide to lower opponents' defense stats. This combination has the highest total DPS (Damage Per Second) among all movesets, which means it can deal more damage than any other combination.

Crustle is also strong against Normal and Poison-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO. The Pokemon that are most vulnerable to Crustle are Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard, and Butterfree. These Pokemon are the most affected by its quick move Smack Down and its main move Rock Slide.
