Gengar is much faster than Crustle and hits hard with special moves like Shadow Ball.
Crustles physical bulk doesn’t help much against Gengar’s special attacks.
Gengar can also use status moves like Hypnosis or Will-o-Wisp to shut Crustle down.
If Crustle has Sturdy or gets a Shell Smash off, it can turn the fight around.
After a Shell Smash, Crustles Attack and Speed boost can let it one-shot Gengar with a strong move like Rock Slide or Stone Edge.
So its kind of hard but I chose Gengar.

If Mega Evolution and Gigantimaxing are allowed, then my money's on Gengar.

Hmm...
Both of them are strong in the area the other is weak, but my thing is that Gengar is much faster
However, I don't remember Gengar having an attack that has an advantage over Crustle
Or at least one that matches its good stats
On the other hand, I can't find any Ground type moves Crustle can learn
The only one of Stomping Tantrum, but I'm not sure
I'm pretty sure, though, that it can learn Shadow Claw
But something @fineasmatei mentioned got me thinking
Gengar can use status moves like Willow Wisp and Hypnosis
But I'm thinking that after using them it can follow up with Hex, which does double when there is a status on the opponent
It is also a ranged attack, which is where Gengar's strength lies and Crustle is weak
So what I'm thinking is Gengar uses its speed to use Hypnosis to put Crustle to sleep, follows it with something like Willow Wisp or Toxic, then constantly use Hex while Crustle is asleep and unable to do anything
I'm thinking Gengar
