Strategy Overview
One would think a Pokemon with monstrous defensive stats and horrible attacking stats would never find a place on hyper offense, but Shuckle makes for an excellent lead thanks to its access to Stealth Rock and Sticky Web. Also, because of Shuckle's access to Sturdy, it can run a Mental Herb to negate Taunt once, guaranteeing that it can set up at least one entry hazard. Because of its high defensive stats, it has the bulk to often set both entry hazards. Shuckle also has a great support movepool including access to Encore, Infestation, and Knock Off. Sadly, Shuckle is held back by its extremely low Speed and lack of offensive presence.
