Dwebble is a hermit crab-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. Its evolved form is Crustle.

Information

Dwebble are Pokémon that resemble small insects. It can easily melt holes in hard rocks with a liquid that it secretes from its mouth. Dwebble usually uses this ability to make a hole in a suitable rock which it will carry on its back and live in. If the rock breaks, Dwebble becomes agitated while searching for a replacement.
