Always remember: Don’t Fuckle with Shuckle

i love the graphic at 4:10 showing the pros and cons of sticky web setters and leavanny’s just sitting there at the bottom with its only pro being it has webs

That's why the saying goes "Don't fuckle with the shuckle"

The very definition of seize your moment, because you never know when it will happen, but when it does, you take it

Would it even manage to use it off effectively though? Sure it's an absurdely powerful move, but it's walled by ghost types and is on one of the slowest mons in the game. How much value would it be able to get from it?

As I was watching the start of the video I thought “man that looks like my-“ then I saw my name lmao. Great video as always!!

The move Heavy-Duty Boots. Ah yes.

Theres also gen 7 mix and mega where it was a similar case....with ampharosite. basically most teams then relied on either sablenite, zapdos, landorus-t (which later also got banned from holding mega stones), or mandibuzz to hazard block, since most hazard setters couldnt get through magic bounce, but shuckle could while punishing others with toxic. ampharosite also giving shuckle a good matchup into standard primal groudon also meant that it could punish anything from it with relative safety while scouting its sets, and webs teams could afford to trade hazards with it. it was only further helped by the reliance on zygarde in the tier as the premier altarianite (pixilate) extreme speed user that made it over the top, as you couldnt win by simply being faster and dragonite was restricted while arcanine and entei couldnt ohko before being ohkoed by +1 stab thousand arrows or just +1 thousand arrows into extreme speed. pdon was also just kinda crazy with it too and that was the best mon in the tier that also checked a shit ton of mons so you couldnt exactly remove it either. zyg is/was still debatably broken in that tier, but the ladder is now gone and the banlist was locked at the end of gen 7.

Shuckle is also good for bug monotype teams, as most of the good bug types are perfect with stealth-web support

My takeaway is that Shuckle was reliable at getting it up. Thanks Freezai.

Power split is an underrated move It basically halves either attacking stat, isn’t reset by haze, bypasses magic bounce and clear body, and is generally a great tool for shutting down a powerful attacker Guard split is really useful in doubles for bolstering a teammate’s defense, just be wary of follow me I used a dual split shuckle with encore and protect in gen 8 doubles and it was really fun Giving shuck speed with speed swap ribombee allowing it to disrupt opposing mons was the core idea of my gen 8 monotype doubles team and it worked decently well

@nicolaistuhlmuller8718

The main issue of Power Split is that when opponents switch out, which they usually do, their stats reset but due to Shuckle now having far too high stats, it can't reliably use the move again. It's essentially Charm/Eerie Impulse if it was a one time only move, and overall it's worse than Noble Roar, which can at least be stacked. Guard Split was once a (not even that good) gimmick with Chansey, but aside from that it's not too great. Basically you give up a turn for a +1 to your partner's defenses on average, and for that you turn Shuckle into glass.

@@jonathanwilliams225 that is an extreme niche case. Again, Noble Roar and its variations already are bad moves. Power Split is an inferior version to that since it can't be stacked and can't be used properly when an opponent switches out until you switch out again. Its literal only use is when your opponent has a last mon Hatterene, and even in those cases something like Perish Song would be far superior. So it's worse than an already bad move in pretty much any case besides one insanely rare care, in which it's still worse than other moves. That is not an underrated move, that is an awful one.

And then the *other* time Shuckle was overpowered was in VGC, when it had the perfect storm of not just team support but rulesets, it could use Power Trick to give its defenses to an Eviolite Chansey and then stall the opponent out of time.

Shuckle also had a very prominent place in gen 8 bdsp ru. And yes, it was paired with Exploud, which dominated the tier post its initial bans.

Your music choices for these videos are always peak

fun fact this wasnt the only time shuckle had tiering action against it! in gen 7 mix and mega in like 2017 shuckle got restricted from mega evolving due to its ability to get webs up guarenteed regardless of what you do because of mold breaker after mega and sturdy pre mega

Can someone explain to me how the base 20 health yet base 230 sp/defence thing works? Is it that it takes a lot to knock off a HP but it doesn't have many? In which case, would this be the same as having base 40 health and base 115 sp/defence (ignoring EV/IVs).

@nicolaistuhlmuller8718

6 ай бұрын

With base stats it's a bit iffy because they don't 100% depend on base stats, but yes if a mon had 200 hp, 500 def and 500 spdef, it would be exactly the same as 400 hp, 250 def and 250 spdef. 244 hp and 614 def, which is the maximum shuckle can have, is equal to 488hp and 307 def, which you'd get with 142 base hp and 90 base def. So Shuckle having 20 hp and 230 (sp)def would be equal to having 142 hp and 90 (sp)def. Its bulk is ultimately similar to Vaporeon if its spdef was as high as its defense, or generally Umbreon.

Would've been nice for the offensive Shuckle builds to at least get some mention in the starting section of this video. It isn't a solely defensive Pokémon. If u can eliminate an opp's physical attackers, u can swap Shuckle's massive def stat with its abysmal attack stat n get an insane sweeper to clean up the opponent's special attackers n support Pokémon. Worked best in doubles where u could use Follow Me or Rage Powder to pull aggro from physical attackers n controllers to allow Shuckle to set up n then sweep with Rockslide

Attacker that gives up a turn but I don't think it's that bad as it cripples the Sp.Atk stat of the enemy Sp.sweeper in the process, slightly better than taking a bulky pokemon & having it use nasty plot turn 1 -✨️ Please let me know your impressions of the idea :) it's a ton of words to describe but in practice it is simple: Get shuckle, build it the way described, press 1 move on a Special sweeper 😊

The best thing about shuckle is guard split in doubles it makes evolite Pokémon unstoppable u can genuinely make little cup Mon sweep legendaries with that 1 simple move
