      Gym DefenderGym Defender

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

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      • 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.
