Dwebble
Say it: DWE-bbl-e
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Dwebble is the Rock Inn Pokémon — Bug and Rock before Crustle. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Crustle — not a finished raid attacker. Bug/Rock hits Fire, Ice, Flying, and Grass well in spots; Water and Rock hit it hard. Catch Dwebble from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve. Rock Wrecker from Dwebble Community Day belongs on Crustle.

Dwebble (#557) is a Bug / Rock Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the pre-evolution of Crustle. Trainers almost never power Dwebble for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Crustle (and Rock Wrecker). Against Dwebble, lead with Water or Rock. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
