Character info
The character
Crustle, known in Japanese as Iwaparesu, is a Rock and Bug-type Pokemon that evolves from Dwebble. It is recognized for the massive boulder-like shell it carries on its back, which it carves out and defends fiercely. Its thick claws are its primary weapon, said to be hard enough to crack even a Rhyperior's protective hide.
This card
This is a holo common printing of Crustle from the MEGA Dream ex set (M2a), numbered 014/193. The artwork by Po-Suzuki depicts Crustle carried along by its massive rock shell, set against a forested, misty background. The card uses a Stage 1 Grass-type layout with HP 150 printed in the upper right.
How it plays
This Stage 1 Pokemon evolves from Dwebble and has 150 HP, with a weakness to Fire (x2). Its Ability, Mystic Rock Shelter, prevents it from taking damage from attacks used by the opponent's Pokemon ex. Its attack, Great Scissors, costs one Grass and two Colorless energy, deals 120 damage, and ignores effects applied to the opponent's Active Pokemon when calculating that damage. Retreat cost is three Colorless energy.
