Dwebble
The Rock Inn Pokémon
Type: Bug/Rock
Official Registration #: 557
Entry: This small, hermit crab-like pokémon conceals much of its fragile body inside a shell it carves from a rock. Many dwebble are discerning about this rock and can spend days searching for the perfect one for its tastes and needs. However, this rock does not grow with each dwebble, and every few months to few years (depending on the age of the dwebble in question), it must search out a new rock to carve into a new shell. Therefore, one easy way to study dwebble is by putting it in a room full of nothing but clear synthetic shells right as it’s about to begin the hunt for a new home. Not only will this allow one to observe its rarely seen soft abdomen, but it will also be a great opportunity to discover just how hard and fast a dwebble can throw a roomful of synthetic shells at the head of a human observer.
Crustle
The Stone Home Pokémon
Type: Bug/Rock
Official Registration #: 558
Entry: The evolved form of dwebble, by battle experience. While crustle shells are among the hardest shells in the pokémon world, they can easily be broken by other crustle shells. This happens when two or more crustle engage in battle with one another over territory. These battles can be extremely vicious and never end until one crustle’s shell is broken, after which the crustle with the intact shell is declared the winner. The loser, meanwhile, walks away with not only a broken shell but also a broken sense of self-confidence, and it’s important for a trainer to reassure it that it’s beautiful, no matter what its shell looks like. (Of course, if the trainer also had a tub of cement or shell epoxy at the ready, that would be a good idea too.)
