as Hyper Offensive Hazard Setters
----VS----
Crustle's Advantages:
Crustle's Disadvantages:
I think Custap Berry Crustle is a really cool hazard setter, if used correctly it can almost guarantee Stealth Rocks and at least 1 layer of Spikes on the field. Here's the set I've most effectively used:
EVs & IVs configured to make Crustle's defenses as low as possible to increase the likelihood of an attack bringing it down to 25% health. Crustle hits quite hard as well thanks to it's base 95 Atk stat.
