Crustle (Japanese: イワパレス Iwapalace) is a dual-type Bug/Rock pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Crustle is an orange pokémon resembling an insect or crustacean. Its most distinguishing feature is its enormous, hard shell, which resembles a cut-away block of sediment with multiple layers and strata visible. Crustle's shell grants it an impressive defense in combat. The tips of its pincers and six feet are dark gray. It has two glaring yellow eyes. Crustle possesses a straight tail that is concealed underneath its shell.
Its legs are very strong, to the point that it can carry heavy rocks for a long time, even through the arid lands where it resides. Due to this environment, a Crustle will not come out of its shell if it is a rainy day. It engages members of its species in territorial battles that can become especially vicious. If its shell breaks during such a fight, it loses. When Crustle's shell breaks, it will become weaker and unsure of itself. Crustle's biggest strength is its thick claws, which are strong enough to break even Rhyperior's sturdy carapace. As mentioned in Sleep Style Dex, Crustle are occasionally seen sleeping atop their boulders while completely defenseless. It is believed to be a sign that Crustle feel satisfied that they've secured their own territory. There are four different sleep styles it sleeps in: "Sheltered Sleep", "Unsheltered Sleep", "On-Top Sleep", and "Atop-Belly Sleep".
