Help I Need Everyones Opinion.

[CakeForTheSoul]

I'm planning on raising a Cloyster and I need to know what nature I should use between...
Shell Armor:Opponents Cannot Critical Hit.
and
Skill Link:Moves That Attack 2-5 Times always hit 5 times.

And Cloyster's final move that he learns is "Spike Cannon"

So Could Someone help.

Skill Link if you want the attack to always hit 5x, Shell Armor if you want to avoid Critical Hits.

I just think you should get Shell Armor, critical hits can happen so often.

I vouch for Shell Armour; it's just more useful, even if criticals are uncommon.

A critical hit can turn a battle completely against you, so it's best to avoid them.

It really depends on personal preference and your moveset. Do you plan on having at least one move that hits 2-5 times? I'm not really sure on Cloyster's movesets but I'm guessing it has quite a few really useful moves. Both abilities are extremely useful and could or break your battle.

If you plan to use your Cloyster for Defense, go with Shell Armor. You'll never have to worry about the small chance of your opponent landing a Critical Hit. You're guaranteed consistancy.

On the other hand, Shell Link guarantees that your move will hit 5 times, but you still have the slight risk of a miss. Still, it could get you out of a tight corner as well.

Sorry, if that didn't help. I'm just looking into things a little deeper.

You should go with Shell Armor.

Cloyster's got enough defense to survive most critical hits anyway, so if you really want to use Spike Cannon, then use Skill Link, but most in the competitive community will recommend Shell Armor because clyster is a largely defensive pokemon anyways. :/

Well, with that taken care of, please use the Team Help thread for any more help you might need with this or anything else.
