Sturdy Effect

Every time the Pokemon loses a certain amount of HP, its Defense and Sp. Def are increased.

Defense and Sp. Def. Bonus Calculation

Crustle gains 6 + (2 x Level) Defense and Sp. Def. stats.

How to Use Sturdy

Great for keeping Crustle on the offensive

Sturdy helps Crustle survive more battles by increasing its defenses. This is particularly useful when combo'd up with Shell Smash.

Since Shell Smash adds more to your offenses at the expense of your defense, it will help offset the decrease and allow Crustle to continue dealing damage without worrying too much about the damage you receive.

Sturdy Patch History

1.11.1.8 Defense and Sp. Def. bonus increased from 5 + 1 x Level to 6 + 2 x Level (up to 10 levels).
