It is only worthwhile if your able to Toxic/Wrap + Double Team Stall, but seeing how Double Team isn't exactly legal thanks to Standard Clauses, In standard competitive play, Shuckle is a waste.

Yea, but there is also that move that switches its defence and its attack's stat, so if you are lucky with surviving or think your opponent's attack will miss... You could try it?

The move that switches Atk and Def is perfect in a Double Battle where the partner can use Follow Me and take all the hits for Shuckle, giving Shuckle the freedom to attack at will. Gyro Ball is also a good idea since Shuckle has very, very low Speed, making Gyro Ball stronger the faster the opponent is.

Someone always tries to bring up Power Trick but frankly speaking, Shuckle has no speed to justify dropping it's Defense in favor of Attack. Even with a Focus Sash (assuming it's life wasn't already nipped in the setting up of Power Trick), Shuckle is then in turn, nothing more than a glass cannon. Statisically it looks nice, but chances are, you won't be able to get off that attack to make it worthwhile.

I have already picked out a moveset for him I am going to use him more as a sheild than anything else

What other possibly use could it have if power trick is not used?...
Well Acupressure... you can get a boost for two stages in ANY stat... even evasion, and with that Im affraid to say... it´s valid since it´s a gamble, not planed

I suggest umbreon. It has both high special defense and defense, and very good HP. It can also learn toxic, wish and protect which makes a perfect wall.
