In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Crunch is a move with 16 base power, 88% accuracy, and 13 PP. The user attacks enemy in the front, possibly lowering their Special Defense by one level. This move is affected by {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Muzzled}} status condition.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the move now lowers Defense due to being reclassified as a physical move.
