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 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, it collects [[Berry|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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Shuckle seems to be based on an {{wp|endolith}}, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells or possibly an {{wp|abalone}}. {{wp|Fungi}}, particularly mold, are common endoliths; this explains why Shuckle is the mold Pokémon. It may also be based on {{wp|scale insect}}s—small, shelled parasites that produce a sweet fluid called {{wp|honeydew (secretion)|honeydew}} that attracts other insects. Shuckle may have been based on a variety of {{wp|mollusk}}s, 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 {{wp|turtle}}s or {{wp|tortoise}}s, appearance-wise.

Shuckle (Japanese: ツボツボ Tsubotsubo) is a dual-type Bug/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

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 while they decompose by Shuckle's digestive juices, which it then consumes. Its digestive juices are also used to dissolve rocks so Shuckle can hide under them. It can be found in the mountains.

Butch's Shuckle debuted in Sleight of Sand!.

A Shuckle appeared in Double-Time Battle Training! under the ownership of Rebecca. It battled Zoey's Glameow in the finals of the Brussel Contest and lost.

Conway used a Shuckle in his battle against Ash in Working on a Right Move!.

A Shuckle was seen as one of the Pokémon Crystal captured and sent to Professor Oak via the Portable Transfer System in Off Course with Corsola.

Later in The Last Battle XIII a Shuckle was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in Ilex Forest.

Shuckle's most major appearance is in Volume 23, under the control of Orm, in his battles against Professor Oak (which he won with ease) and Oak's grandson Blue (which he lost eventually).

Another Shuckle was seen under Pike Queen Lucy's command, where it showed off its fair deftness by badly poisoning Emerald's Starmie (as well as taking a number of attacks) before being washed out by a Surf. She hasn't used it since.

Trivia

  • Shuckle has the most extreme stat distribution of any Pokémon, being either the best or in the bottom four 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.
  • 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. 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).
