Strategy Overview
Shieldon's access to the Sturdy + Berry Juice combination, great bulk, and resistances carve it a niche as a reliable Stealth Rock setter in the Little Cup metagame. While Shieldon's typing grants it notable resistances such as a 4x resistance against Flying, it also curses Shieldon with crippling 4x weaknesses to common types in Fighting and Ground. This, combined with its low offensive presence and speed, leaves Shieldon struggling to find a slot on most teams.
