While most trainers evolve Dwebble into Crustle immediately, the unevolved form has a niche with Eviolite boosting its defenses. Only weak to Water, Rock, and Steel. Known as the Rock Inn Pokemon. The stat spread favors raw physical power.
Nothing fancy in Dwebble's spread. It leans physical with Defense out front. And you'll get 1 Defense EV per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
When it finds a stone appealing, it creates a hole inside it and uses it as its home. This Pokémon is the natural enemy of Roggenrola and Rolycoly.
It first tries to find a rock to live in, but if there are no suitable rocks to be found, Dwebble may move in to the ports of a Hippowdon.
Dwebble Weakness
VulnerableWater, Rock, and Steel-type moves hit Dwebble for super-effective damage. Dwebble's physical bulk (base 85 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.
