youre all right about cryogonal taking super-effectives, but im talking about taking something like gyarados' waterfall or something. rotten in that regard.
it can absorb a flamethrower, though.
i didnt even know torkoal got shell smash. you proved me wrong.
on paper, crustle is alright, but trust me, theres a reason you wont ever fight one competitively.
and, arent there better stealth rock+spikes users?
point is, majorly outclassed in a variety of situations. yes, you can make it useful. but you can make stunfisk useful
with static + endure too. point is, you have several different options as to hazard layers, shell smashers, bug types,
or rock types, or sturdy users, or.... okay, i imagine it has the best..... uhh.... rock wrecker? no. imagine that. THAT's outclassed.
better abusers of trick room, and so on and so forth. everyone's praising crustle right now but i havent ever battled one competitively,
or have been able to get one to pull its weight.
and i use an Amoonguss regularly. i dont use terrakion, deoxys, arceus, latios.... okay, i have a heatran i like to use.
show me a realistic niche crustle has that isnt outclassed in the battle subway and ill listen.
