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

huh..well thats for the info neutral

I'm going to have to agree with Luther on the fact that Shuckle is nothing more than a defensive staller. Though I will have to disagree with him on the usefulness of Bide on this Pokemon. As despite it's a three turn move, it combines any damage that Shuckle might have received and deals double the damage to the opponent. Though anything that could take down Shuckle in less than 3 turns, will definitely make Bide useless, so keep an eye on shuckle's HP every time it takes a hit and decide how to react with your Shuckle from there. I personally would run a moveset like this:

~ Wrap/Toxic
~ Encore
~ Bide
~ Rest

Uhh, Shuckle can't learn Trick Room... That would be a great moveset though, lol.

How about this?
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Rock Polish
Power Trick

Similar, but not as quick of a setup.

Nevermind, he's way too slow to even make that work...
I got nothin'...

I don't think focus sash would help at all, because it only works if its a one-hit kill. If you mean Focus Band, that's banned from Standard Play... (Not to mention, it only works 10% of the time)
I think leftovers is probably the best held-item for any shuckle set.

He never could learn trick room to begin with. Using Power Trick would be risky since it would leave him with a max of 130 Def/SpDef. Meaning, all a pokemon had to do was us a Priority move and he would be dead. Full HP or not. The best thing he'd have to do is combo it in a double battle with a pokemon that knew "Follow Me" in which, both the opponent's pokemon would be forced to attack the other pokemon instead of shuckle. However, moves like Earthquake, Discharge, Heat Wave, and Surf would still hit him. In which he'd have to hold Focus Sash otherwise he would be down for the count.

Or we could just accept the fact that Shuckle is a Staller/Annoyer and any offensive set is doomed to fail.

Scizor Bullet Punch (Or just about any other priority move) = Dead Power Swap, Trick Room Shuckle. Guaranteed.

True, speaking of double battle moves that hit both opponents.... I once used a Smeargle with Dark Void.... lol, unfortunately this is illegal because it puts more than one pokemon to sleep.... At least you could get disqualified first turn rofl rofl rofl

Relax man, we're just trying to come up with ideas to make a Shuckle sweeping set. Even if it could never be useful 100% of the time, at least it may work against an opponent who lacks all these; Priority moves, Moves that hit both opponents, etc.

Besides, you may be able to come in on something & scare it away due to your opponent not being able to beat it as a stall, & then get with a surprise hit! This would especially work on special sweepers, since Power Trick only affects your physical stats, not the special ones.

As far as usefulness, I would agree that it would prove most useful as a support/stall. If I use Shuckle, I would always get one with Encore, so I can switch to an appropriate counter. But every once in a while someone may want to try something unique. This is what we were discussing.
