Crustle 14/113 · Legendary Treasures

Crustle is Pokédex #558, generation 5 (Unova). Crustle is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Dwebble. In this catalog that name is Dwebble (#557).

Crustle sits at 14/113 in Legendary Treasures, position 14 of 140. Before it is 13 Dwebble, and after it is 15 Virizion. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on November 6, 2013. The printed size is 113. This checklist is longer, at 140 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Hard Press lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Hammer In is another attack lists 70 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "When its boulder is broken in battles for territory, it feels unsure and begins to weaken."

Crustle (#558) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Crustle 7/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Naoyo Kimura illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 9 other cards of Crustle list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoki Saito. I count 270 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Legendary Treasures set binder is where a full Legendary Treasures set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Crustle can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
