Shuckle has the best Defences in the game, but he doesn't have the HP, Atk, SpAtk, or Speed to be useful for anything else. All one can really do is stall. To be honest, your shuckle is rather weak in comparison. About the only one that could be good is Def. Unless you have a Defence boosting nature, then that's nothing impressive either.

There is no need to have Safegaurd with Rest, so replace it. Bide isn't very good either. I suggest going with Swagger or Stealth Rock, and Gyro Ball. With its speed making it the slowest pokemon in the game, Gyro Ball will be very powerful against fast opponents. So:

Rest
Toxic
Swagger / Stealth Rock
Gyro Ball

Gyro ball isn't a good attack for shuckle because it's based on the Pokemon's weight, Shuckle isn't too heavy. I would reccomend using Gyro Ball with Pokemon like Metagross or Bronzong.

That is incorrect, friend. As Luther said, it is Speed that affects Gyro Ball, not weight. The slower you are than your opponent, the stronger Gyro Ball is.

You fiend! You stole Cormini's line! But anyways, Gyro Ball is based on Speed, not weight.

What can you say, the phrase is contagious. Also, its one of the most polite ways to tell someone they are wrong without too much hostility. razz

@gamefreak: I concur.

LOL I have a Shcukle that's nearly identical to that! It has 70 atk and sp.atk though. Shuckle has obviously Uber defenses, but lacks in everything else, so I don't know what to consider it as.

Without Double Team (due to Evasion Clause), a pretty lame Pokemon in my books.

I personaly love shuckel but then again I rarely battle in OU. It was very good until I fought a snorlax with immunity and then I stalled until my opponent DC'ed out of boardom

I'm sure this has already been brought up (a bit too lazy to read the thread) but without a respectable mode to heal itself aside from Leftovers or Rest+Chesto (which is really only good for one shot), Shuckle really has no reliable way to ensure it's survivability.

This is great! I was just planning a TrickRoom team, and threw out shuckle as a thought to be on it! lol

it has Toxic, Substitute, Power Trick, and Earthquake!
idk if that was good, i came up with it a year or so ago?

TrickRoom is supose to be set up when it comes out, then I would go with Toxic, then the Sub, Power Trick and Earthquake for the kill!?

sadly Shuckle doesnt have enough HP to keep the Sub up at all!

Encore a non-physical move, Power Trick, and then use a physical attack maybe?
