Shuckle's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Shuckle PvE Analysis

⚔️ Raids

There are only three things that Shuckle excels in: defence, defence and defence. That pretty much sums up its usability in PvE. But just to make it absolutely clear, do not take Shuckle into raids.

🛡️ Gyms

Shuckle is what people seem to affectionately refer to as a "slow decay" gym defender. It won't do well in fights but it can hang around in gyms for a while as its heart drops slowly.

Shuckle PvP Analysis

🧸 Little Cup

Shuckle has insane defenses for the Little Cup, to the point where it's banned from most Little Cup format. But when it is allowed, it's best used as a solid stall Pokémon.

🔵 Great League

Shuckle's bulk will only take it so far, and as the max CP for this Pokémon tops out at 458, it comes out too low to matter in higher leagues.

🟡 Ultra League

Please do not entertain bringing Shuckle into Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Just don't.

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
