SHUCKLE Item Leftovers Nature Calm (+SD, -Atk) Ability Sturdy EVs 252 HP, 228 Def, 28 SD Stats 244 HP, 50 Atk, 553 Def, 46 Spd, 56 SA, 553 SD Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Wrap Toxic Encore RestProtectSandstorm Move Effect Type Pwr Acc Wrap Traps the target for 2-5 turns, causing damage equal to 1/16 of its max HP each turn; this trapped effect can be broken by Rapid Spin. The target can still switch out if it uses Baton Pass. Normal 15 85% Toxic The target is badly poisoned, with the damage caused by poison doubling after each turn. Toxic poisoning will remain with the Pokemon during the battle even after switching out. Poison N/A 85% Encore The target is forced to use its last attack for the next 2-6 turns. The effects of this move will end immediately if the target runs out of PP for the repeated attack. In double battles, a Pokemon who has received an Encore will target a random opponent with single-target attacks. Normal N/A 100% Rest The user is cured of status effects (and confusion), and recovers full HP, but falls asleep for 2 turns. Pokemon who have Early Bird will wake up one turn early. Psychic N/A N/A Protect Almost always goes first. The user is protected from all attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure. Normal N/A N/A Sandstorm Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: each active Pokemon, even when protected by a Substitute, loses 1/16 of its max HP unless it is a Ground-, Rock-, or Steel-type, the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is halved. Rock N/A N/A           Notes: Shuckle would be a perfect staller if it actually had HP higher than Dugtrio's. The HP puts a huge dent into Shuckle's massive defenses, (although, on the bright side, Sand Stream doesn't rip Shuckle apart,) and the Attacks/Speed are so dismally low that you have you wonder why Shuckle was even created. When you have to rely on Toxi-trapping, (with Wrap, no less!,) to do anything, you know Shuckle has issues. SHUCKLE Item Choice Band (Atk x1.5) Nature Adamant (+Atk, -SA) Ability Sturdy EVs 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Def Stats 244 HP, 195 Atk, 497 Def, 46 Spd, 50 SA, 496 SD Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Hidden Power Bug Rock SlideRollout Earthquake Body Slam Move Effect Type Pwr Acc Hidden Power Varies in power and type depending on the user's IVs; maximum 70 BP. Will run off the user's Attack or Special Attack depending on type. Bug Var BP 100% Rock Slide Has a 30% chance to make the target flinch. Rock 75 90% Rollout The user attacks uncontrollably for five turns; this move's power doubles after each turn and also if Defense Curl was used beforehand. Its power resets after five turns have ended or if the attack misses. Rock 30 90% Earthquake Power doubles when performed against Pokemon using Dig. Ground 100 100% Body Slam Has a 30% chance to paralyze the target. Normal 85 100%           Notes: For those of you who have completely lost your minds, please enjoy this Choice Band Shuckle set. The thing is, Toxi-trapping, especially with Wrap, is such a horrible idea that Choice Band Shuckle, with its amazing 195 max attack, could actually be a better option. At the very least, you'll catch your opponent offguard and possibly get a surprise kill. That would be one more possible kill than the first set would ever get.
