'''Shuckle''' (ツボツボ ''Tsubotsubo'') is a {{Type|Bug}}/{{Type|Rock}}-type [[Pokémon]]. It has the highest non-legendary base [[Defense]] and [[Special Defense]] stats, but has very low [[Attack]], [[HP]], [[Special Attack]], and [[Speed]] stats. It is usually used as a stalling Wall, with moves such as [[Sandstorm]], [[Toxic]], [[Gyro Ball]] (for the sake of a decent offensive move), and [[Withdraw]]. A Shiny Shuckle appeared in the episode [[A Better Pill to Swallow]] as a purple one, despite shiny Shuckles being blue. It is known for its massive amount of [[Defense]] and resembles a turtle or tortoise. It can [[withdraw]] into its shell like a tortoise. It is able to make [[Berry]] Juice. It may have a massive amount of [[Speed]], [[Attack]], etc. if it uses [[Power Trick]] so then it may become very powerful with its [[attack]].
