| Old Man Shuckle has multiple Shuckle for its ability to create a special juice that was a special medicine. Misty picked one up to find Shuckle inside. Only wild which Shuckle can produce quality juice, and so instead of catching them, he simply takes them back to his laboratory, fills them with ingredients, and returns them to the wild for a year while the ingredients turn into juice. When Team Rocket drinks the juice, the pheromones make them follow Team Rocket. | ||

| Old Man Shuckle has a Bellsprout, Spoopy (Jp: ポチ Pochi), with the ability to check the scent of Shuckle in order to see if the juice inside them is ready. It helps to find the rare purple Shuckle with Old Man Shuckle and the gang. It detects the scent of the Shuckle and Brock gives chase, but could not keep up. Spoopy lifts up a rock and there was the purple Shuckle. Suddenly Team Rocket grabs the Shuckle and runs.
They eventually find the trio. Spoopy uses Vine Whip to grab Shuckle back and the group send Team Rocket blasting off. Spoopy's only known move is Vine Whip. | ||

| Old Man Shuckle sought out this purple Shuckle for its ability to create a special juice that was necessary for a special medicine to ensure Pokémon obedience. However, Team Rocket got a hold of the Shuckle and drank its juice pure, which had the effect of making all nearby Pokémon obsessed with them. Old Man Shuckle was able to cure this by throwing a powder at them that apparently acted as an antidote. | ||
