Guide
The build is a meme, but it's a good meme.
I've chosen Goal-Getter for an item since it allows for some really ridiculously fast and safe scoring with Score Shield. If you're having trouble surviving swap Goal-Getter for Eject Button.
As soon as you unlock Shell Smash, score 6 times as fast as possible for a huge HP lead.
Zoom in with Shell Smash to score, then you can use the regained health from scoring in combination with X-Scissor (if unlocked) and Shell Smash for escaping.
Abuse your unite move with buddy barrier for insane shields for team fights. Be sure to use hit enemies in to the walls with X-Scissor as it will incapacitate them, this will allow you to more consistently kill or retreat (use your own judgement here).
If the score is close I highly recommend using Rubble Rouser + Shell Smash with Score Shield for some quick scoring at the end. More often than not you can completely ignore a 1v2 to score, especially if Goal-Getter is off cooldown.
Prioritize Drednaw, abandoning your lane if needed. Acting as a wall to block off the enemy team from Drednaw is your most valuable play here. Abuse X-Scissor. If you're not in a position to secure Drednaw, attempt to steal it with a last second X-Scissor. Stunning the enemy and attacking Drednaw at the same time with X-Scissor if possible to increase your odds of stealing it. Shell Smash to escape.
For Zapdos you should use the same strategy for Drednaw, except you need to avoid damaging Zapdos if your team is in the lead. Don't allow the enemy team to wipe you last second and steal the kill. Rubble Rouser as necessary to save teammates using Buddy Barrier here.
Using this strategy and build I've secured a 78% win rate with Crustle. It's just good.

Works Well With
Additional CC and burst is always nice when you're trying to get some cheeky scores.
Same reason as Ninetails. The CC with Surf allows for some exceptionally fun plays.
Charizard's unite move is an amazing synergy with your X-Scissor and Rubble Rouser, allowing Charizard to do whatever they want... Whenever they want.
