Shellos

The buff to Knock Off caused a drastic increase in the viability and popularity of the move, and with it, a rise in methods to deal with it. Among these methods is a Pokemon with the ability Sticky Hold to absorb the attack, and Shellos is a wonderful candidate for such a role. Although its stats might not be particularly impressive, Sticky Hold, Eviolite, and reliable recovery mean that Shellos can be difficult to take out. On top of that, Shellos has all the right moves to fit in on a team as its bulky Water-type. However, Shellos is by no means free of the detriments that its average stats bring. In addition to being slow and lacking offensive presence, Shellos is left with decent but not exceptional bulk, leaving it very prone to wallbreakers and preventing it from seeing more use. Shellos is an excellent choice when used with other defensive Pokemon thanks to its ability to withstand Knock Off with ease, but it should be avoided on more fast-paced teams due to its limited offensive presence and inability to take especially powerful attacks.
