Shuckle sucks in general and just shouldn’t be used. All those defenses mean nothing when it has terrible HP. There are so many better Pokemon out there with good defenses AND better HP, like Umbreon, Claydol, and Dusclops.

Anyways, your Shuckle has a bad nature. Lonely increases Attack and decreases Defense, which is terrible because Shuckle needs its Defense and couldn’t care less about Attack.

The ideal Shuckle would be:

Shuckle (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / ~100 Def / ~156 SDef
Nature: Bold, Impish, Calm, or Careful
- Toxic
- Wrap
- Rest
- Protect

Look up what EVs are here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=64755
Too bad Shuckle can’t do a thing to Steel types, Poison types, Gengar, or anything that can learn Substitute or Rest (which is 99% of all Pokemon). That’s how bad Shuckle is and one of the reasons training one is a bad idea.

I'm insulted, aragorn, at your dissing of the mighty Shuckle. I used this thing on an Ubers team, you can't imagine how much stuff it lol'd at (Toxistalling Latios is a gg) Just a matter of giving it the right EVs depending on what you're trying to block with it. Personally, when using Shuckle, I focus on just one of the two defenses, usually SDef, since the other will generally take care of itself. Special concerns are a lot more prevalent for Shuckle than physical attacks.

Then again, this looks like an in-game Shuckle. In that case, ditch it and find something else. In the cart games, there couldn't be much more of a useless pokemon.

defense curling rollouts not used? :p That was listed as a GSC moveset for shuckle once, lol.(defense curl doubles rollouts to 60 base power, so maybe it could damage stuff.)

I was using shuckle on a joke team and its lucky to KO even just one pokemon. There are much better pokes out there.
