Shuckle (Japanese: ツボツボ Tsubotsubo) is a dual-type Bug/Rock Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Shuckle bears resemblance to a small turtle. Shuckle is encased in a very hard red shell that has many holes in it. Its body inside the shell is yellow and presumably very soft. Shuckle's limbs appear limp until in use and are completely able.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Shuckle are well known for having high defenses, surpassing all other Pokémon in both physical and Special Defense. However, Shuckle's other stats are incredibly low, being either lowest or very near to lowest of all Pokémon.
In Generation II, if a Shuckle is made to hold a standard Berry, it will in time break down into Berry Juice, which doubles its effectiveness. If held even longer, the Berry Juice will harden and turn into a Rare Candy. This functionality was removed from later generations.
Behavior
Rather than actively hunting and foraging for food like most other Pokémon, it tends to collect Berries and store them in its shell. The Berries inside are liquefied and fermented by the Shuckle's digestive juices, which are then consumed by the Shuckle. These juices are also used to dissolve rocks for the Shuckle to hide under.
Habitat
Shuckle tend to hide under rocks and fallen logs for long periods of time.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
This Pokémon's main diet consists of Berries, which it collects and stores in its shell.

Origin
Shuckle seems to be based on an endolith, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells or possibly an abalone. Fungi, also known as mold, are common endoliths; this explains why Shuckle is the mold Pokémon. It may also be based on scale insects – small, shelled parasites that produce a sweet fluid called honeydew that attracts other insects. Shuckle may have been based on a variety of mollusks, as it shares some characteristics with them. Some examples of the similar characteristics are the shell, muscular and limp-seeming feet, the use of acids to receive food or to break down obstacles, likes fermented foods, and both also live close to the water. It may also be based on turtles or tortoises, appearance-wise.
Name origin
Shuckle may be a combination of shuck (a husk or pod) and barnacle or turtle.
Tsubotsubo may derive from 壷 tsubo (jar) and 富士壺 fujitsubo (barnacle).
