This Shuckle...

OMG Shuckle RULES

um..dunno if this would still be good
but here's what I used on shuckle in cystal version

Shuckle
(any nature that boosts defense)
@Sitrus Berry
Rest
Toxic
Constrict
Sand Storm

with those moves Shuckle can generally take out a lot of pokemon
I dunno what it's pokemon ability is for ruby/sapphire/leaf green/fire red
but if it has something that boosts it's defense this thing rocks
um...with the exception of water pokemon, steel pokemon or pokemon
that do specific damage moves i.e. sonic boom, dragon rage, nightshade
it should be able to take most hits.
anyway yeah so good luck , and hope I helped.
 
constrict? err... you kidding?

Shuckle- [def or sp.def + / sp.atk -] @ leftovers
EV: HP max, def, sp.def
-sandstorm
-toxic
-wrap
-rest

I do hope that you mean wrap not constrict... there's a big difference... The problem with shuckle is that it dies to anything with substitute immediately.
 
hmm, how about toxic, sub, protect, attract? Not that shuckle really lasts 10 seconds against anything in RS (Back in GSC it was excellent UU wise)

*pulling random moves out here*
 
Shuckle can toxistall well. Both movesets gets owned by Steel types however. I prefer the toxistaller though, just my opinion
 
Hmm, perhaps against an UU mon it can, but it does get owned by most of the standard metagame mons, doesnt it?
 
Any shuckle is destined to get killed by metagross or skarmory. That is why it's not OU! ^_^ Against anything else that's UU even in RS, it stands quite a good chance of annoying the living daylights out of the opponent. I personally put in wrap in order to damage Magneton in 202, who isn't too rare back in those days. As long as Shuckle isn't against something with sub/stat boost, seismic/nightshade or sweeper with SE move, Shuckle should be just fine.
 
heh, then maybe it's just me who still sticks rest on any and almost all of his pokemon in an RS/FRLG environment
 
Umm, what about Rollout and Double Team?

Shuckle may have low Attack, but Rollout will smoosh anything no matter what Pokemon you use, affecting every Pokemon including Shedinja! And Double Team is there to take advantage of the opponent and Shuckle's Defences.

Is this good?

Double Team
Sandstorm
Substitute
 
Rollout is terrible. It misses easily, and its attack power doesn't go that high. You're stuck using a rock attack, so a Tyranitar can abuse this and keeps using dragon dance. Double team takes too long and is too lengthy. Plus you still die at the hands of dancing aerial ace from Salamence. Substitute costs hp and Shuckle needs all hp it can get...
 
Sub is decent when used right, isn't it? I mean, you'd be able to block attacks that deal more than 25% to shuckle and limit it to 25% (although when facing those attacks, switching out is preferred)
 
exactly...? when you got no leech seed to help with healing yourself and you aren't trying to pull off a berry with low hp, there is no point to sub like that. Sub is only used for fast Pokemon to block status, to stall for time with leech seed or purposely lowering your hp so get a berry kicking around.
 
..wrap ... constrict...gimme a break, I haven't played my crystal
version since ruby & sapphire were release...
but yeah...you get what I mean...
anyway shuckle is still awsome and I can't wait for fr or lg to come out so
I can raise it again...wonder what kind of ability it'll have
 
Well you do have leftovers for healing, hmm...
