Strategy Overview
Rock
With access to Sticky Web and Stealth Rock, Shuckle becomes an amazing utility option for Rock teams. Shuckle's part-Bug typing negates its weakness to Ground, Grass, and Fighting, allowing it to survive attacks from Pokemon like Nidoking, Mega Venusaur, and Hawlucha. Sticky Web slows down faster threats like Choice Scarf Excadrill and Mega Gallade for teammates like Mega Diancie and Terrakion. Shuckle's insane defensive stats give it longevity and the chance to set up both entry hazards. Sturdy guarantees Shuckle gets at least one entry hazard up by allowing it to survive a super effective attack from Pokemon like Kingdra. Shuckle should be utilized on early turns to perform its role due to its lack of recovery stacked with its Stealth Rock weakness. As one would expect, this set isn't meant to do damage whatsoever, as its best form of damage is through its utility, leaving it reliant on teammates to pick up KOs.
