Information

A Bug/Rock Pokémon known for having maximal defenses and minimal everything else. Because "everything else" includes HP, it's not actually all that great at tanking. It doesn't really translate well to Arpeggio terms, either—obviously, you should never give it a damaging psychic attack. As it's written here, you'll need a piercing attack to take it down, whether physical, psychic, or magical. Like Shedinja, it's also vulnerable to damage from Status Problems and Weather Conditions. Shuckle ferment Berries inside their shells to create Berry Juice; this juice can't be found anywhere else.
