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

Shuckle in its shell

Shuckle is a Pokémon that resembles a small turtle. Its body is yellow and appears soft. Until they are in use, Shuckle's limbs appear limp. It is encased in a very hard red shell that has many holes in it. The holes in its shell are rimmed with white. Rather than actively hunting and foraging for food like most other Pokémon, it collects Berries and stores them in its shell. The Berries inside are liquefied and fermented by Shuckle's digestive juices, which it then consumes. These juices are also used to dissolve rocks so Shuckle can hide under them. It can be found in the mountains.

Trivia

  • Shuckle has the most extreme stat distribution of any Pokémon, being either the best or in the bottom three of every base stat category:
  • Despite being weak to Water-type moves and being unable to use the move Surf, it appears in the sea in Pal Park.
  • A level 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in a single attack.
  • In Generation II, after holding a Berry for long enough, a Shuckle can turn it into a Berry Juice. Then, after holding a Berry Juice for long enough, a Shuckle can turn it into a Rare Candy.

Origin

Shuckle seems to be based on an endolith, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells or possibly an abalone. Fungi, particularly 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 also have been based on certain varieties of mollusk, as it shares some characteristics with them, including the shell, the muscular but limp-seeming feet, the use of acids to receive food or to break down obstacles, the liking for fermented foods, and living close to the water. It may also be based on turtles or tortoises and vases, 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).
