Shuckle

Shuckle's great bulk gives it a niche over other Sticky Web setters, which are all extremely frail. The rest of its movepool furthers this, with good support moves such as Encore, Knock Off, and Infestation. Shuckle's amazing base 230 defenses and tolerable Bug / Rock typing give it a good amount of longevity, allowing it to more easily set up entry hazards and not always serve simply as a suicide lead. It also lets Shuckle perform well on both hyper and bulky offensive teams. However, the rest of its stats are utterly atrocious, with absolutely no offensive presence, the lowest base Speed in the game, and a low HP stat that its defenses do not appreciate. Furthermore, it faces a good amount of competition from other Sticky Web setters, such as Smeargle and Leavanny. On top of their much higher Speed stats, Smeargle has a better support movepool with access to moves such as Spore and Taunt to give it an easier matchup against slower foes and Nuzzle to cripple faster foes. Leavanny provides an offensive presence that threatens entry hazard removers such as Skuntank and has support moves of its own such as Magic Coat, which helps against opposing leads and Taunt users. Despite this, Shuckle maintains its niche with its much better bulk, which allows it to set both hazards more reliably than Smeargle, and its access to Stealth Rock, unlike Leavanny, which allows it to also pressure bulkier teams that do not mind Sticky Web. Shuckle's bulk and access to Sturdy also allow it to hold a Mental Herb, although the item can only be used once. However, this makes it less reliant on predictions through moves such as Spore and Magic Coat to get up hazards against Taunt users like Alolan Persian.
