MetaMons competitive notes

Crustle is a bug/rock-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Defense — at 485 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 45) and a physical attacking profile. Its Sturdy ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Crustle. Build around what Crustle actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
