'''Shuckle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツボツボ''' ''Tsubotsubo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Rock}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Being a mold Pokémon, 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 till in use and are completely able.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
The player could attach an Oran Berry ([[Berry#Generation II Berries|Berry]] in [[Generation II]]) to Shuckle. Over time, the Berry would become Berry Juice. If left attached to Shuckle even longer, it would become a [[Rare Candy]]. Its low attacking power is made up with Shuckle's extremely high defenses.

===Behavior===
Rather then 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===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Shuckle tend to hide under rocks and fallen logs for long periods of time.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon's main diet consists of berries which it collects and stores in its shell.

==In the anime==
[[Image:JessieWithShinyShuckle.png|thumb|right|200px|Jessie with a [[Shiny Pokémon|purple]] Shuckle]]

A Shuckle was one of the residents of [[Big Town]] in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]''.

In ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]]'', [[Old Man Shuckle|an old man]] was using the Berry Juice that Shuckle makes to create medicine. One of the Shuckle that he befriended was a [[Shiny Pokémon|purple]] Shuckle whose Berry Juice attracted Pokémon to anyone who drank it. Because of this, [[Team Rocket]] made it their mission to steal it.

[[Butch]]'s Shuckle debuted in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''.

A Shuckle also appeared in [[DP124]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Shuckle's major appearance is in {{PSV|23}}, under the control of [[Orm]]. Orm manages to use one Shuckle to control a huge swarm of Shuckle and hold {{Special|Green}} down, but once Green takes out the leader Shuckle, the entire group formation falls apart.

==Trivia==
* Shuckle has the highest Defense and Special Defense stats of any Pokémon, with a max of 614 in them with beneficial [[nature]]s (which are also the highest non-HP stats in existence).
** After using {{m|Power Trick}}, Shuckle has the highest Attack of any Pokémon with a max of 614 in it with beneficial [[nature]]s (To compare, {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack form's maximum Attack stat is ''only'' 504.).
* Shuckle couldn't learn any {{type2|Bug}} moves before {{game|Platinum}}, despite having Bug as its primary type.
* Shuckle, along with {{p|Munchlax}}, in terms of base stats, is the slowest non-glitched Pokémon of all.
* Shuckle, along with {{p|Feebas}}, has the lowest Special Attack of all Pokémon.
* Despite Shuckle being described as having limp, weak muscles, it is able to learn {{m|Strength}} and {{m|Rock Smash}} as [[HM]]s.
* In [[Generation II]], Shuckle's shiny form is purple; however, in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation III]], it is blue.
* Although the circumstances would be nearly impossible, a [[level]] 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, by using {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}} held item, {{m|Power Trick}}, a {{m|Skill Swap}} to {{a|Pure Power}}, and the {{m|Defense Curl}}/{{m|Rollout}} combo. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 {{p|Ledyba}} or {{p|Yanma}} that have been hit with negative {{stat|Defense}} modifiers (such as {{m|Screech}}), it can deal 213,896,052 damage.
** If a level 100 Shuckle uses Power Trick, and is then skill swapped with Pure Power, it would obtain a maximum attack stat of 1228.
* Shuckle can learn Knock Off as a egg move, but it can't learn it through move tutor.
===Origin===
Shuckle seems to be based on an {{wp|endolith}}, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells. Fungi, also known as 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.

It also appears that Shuckle could also be a mixture of several different mollusk in one as a land form. Shuckle seem to have most the major qualities of mollusks. Examples: the shell, each foot being muscular and limp-seeming, the use of acids to receive food or to break down obstacles, likes fermented foods, and lives close to the water in many cases.
====Name origin====
Shuckle may be derived from ''shuck'', to remove from a husk or pod. Its Japanese name is a repetition of 壷 ''tsubo'', jar, or 富士壺 ''fujitsubo'', barnacle.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pottrott - From ''Pott'' (a colloquial word for jar) and ''verrotten'' (to rot), referring to the fermentation of berries in its shell.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Caratroc - From ''carapace'' (shell) and ''troc'' (exchange), refering to its ability of transforming berries into berry juice.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 단단지 ''Dandanji''

Does anyone know if Berry juice can become a rare candy in generation III and IV? i read on another page that an oran berry will become berry juice.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Kendai}} ([[User talk:Kendai|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kendai|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

==Power Trick==

Shuckle learning {{m|Power Trick}} would make it really powerful atacking, combine that with a powerful move & ... -[[User:Theininen|Theininen]] 17:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
:However, it will have the crappest defence ever. [[User:Tesh|'''TESHIGIGAS''']] [[Image:486MS.png|RAWR!!]] 18:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
::Always a drawback. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
::That's why you only use that trick in a Double Battle. In a Single Battle, you face the problem of Shuckle being one-shotted after it uses Power Trick if you don't do something to cripple the opponent. In a Double Battle, you can have Shuckle use Power Trick while your other Pokémon uses Trick Room; that way, Shuckle won't get slaughtered before it can attack. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 17:45, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Can someone confirm the damage maximum on that? It says 210,000,000 but my use of the formula shows a maximum damage of 71,298,684 [[User:Colbenik|Colbenik]] 16:24, 13 January 2009
::::You're missing a lot of factors. Let me list:
* Double Battle
* Item: Metronome (at maximum potential)
* Rollout hit: 5
* Defence curl used for powered up Rollout.
* Maximised Defence (+6 levels) prior to Power Trick.
* Power Trick Active
* Skill Swapped Pure Power/Huge Power
* Critical Hit
* Target defence reduced to 1 with defence down moves used on it (I.E. Screech)
* Helping Hand bonus
* Nature boosts defence
* Variance value at best
::::With this incredible list of factors, you should get much higher results. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']] [[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]] 22:29, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I was actually trying to find highest single battle damage, so maybe I wasn't actually off...I had included all of the factors you listed except for Helping Hand and the Double Battle modifier[[User:Colbenik|Colbenik]] 22:43, 13 January 2009
::::::Just some trivia for the trivia: it takes 20 uses of the move for Metronome to get to maximum potential. [http://www.smogon.com/dp/items/metronome Smogon] also says that Metronome only boosts consecutive ''selections'' of the move, meaning it could take as many as 100 turns of using just Rollout to get both Metronome and Rollout to full power. (Statistically, it may be fewer since Rollout may not necessarily reach 5 strikes each use.) — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 06:12, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::::It takes from 40~100 turns.. true. As for the maximum for a single battle, it just cuts out a 50% Power boost. The maximum damage in a single battle is 142,597,348. That's factoring out the Helping Hand bonus only obtainable in a double battle. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']] [[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]] 10:51, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::::::::When Huge Power is skill swapped, the attack is halved! Why doesn't anyone else know this?![[User:Pyles|Pyles]] 17:23, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::I've seen that it takes 10 uses of the move for Metronome to get to maximum potential on Smogon, but other sources say it takes 20 turns. Can someone confirm which one is true? And Pure Power bonus isn't affect by Skill Swap. The maximum damage would be 213,896,052 HP.

==Shuckle and Berries==

I think some information must be clarified about Shuckle and Berries(or Oran Berries):

* Exactly how many time it takes for Shuckle to produce Berry Juice? And how is it measured: in steps, in real time, or when Shuckle level up?
* The same as above, for Rare Candy.
* And more important: is this feature still available on further generations? i.e., can Shuckle produce Berry Juice(and Rare Candy) on generations III and IV?

A little aside: I hope so. -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]]([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 23:25, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

==Damage Trivia==
"Although the circumstances would be nearly impossible, a level 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, Metronome held item, Power Trick, a Skill Swap to Huge Power or Pure Power, and the Defense Curl/Rollout combo. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 Ledyba or Yanma that have been hit with negative Defense modifiers (such as Screech), it can deal over 210,000,000 damage."

Wouldn't a Choice Band Ho-Oh with Huge/Pure Power and a maximum attack stat and attack modifiers do more damage to a Level 1 Dry Skin Paras with negative defence modifiers with an attack such as Sacred Power? Besides the point, it seems like a weird thing to put in trivia. --[[User:EmpoleonDynamite|EmpoleonDynamite]] 14:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

* Agreed. It's highly impractical as well, since that situation is way too hard to reproduce anyway. I do enjoy trivias, but this is just ridiculously specific. -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 02:05, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
::Ho-Oh max attack is 788 with Pure Power (against 1,228 for a Pure Power and Power Tricked Shuckle) and Sacred Fire power is 100 (960 for a Defense Curled Rollout on the fifth turn). Anyway, maximum damage would be 26,807,962 HP for Ho-Oh, against 213,000,000 for Shuckle. {{unsigned|EnteiFire}}

::That's why you only use that trick in a Double Battle. In a Single Battle, you face the problem of Shuckle being one-shotted after it uses Power Trick if you don't do something to cripple the opponent. In a Double Battle, you can have Shuckle use Power Trick while your other Pokémon uses Trick Room; that way, Shuckle won't get slaughtered before it can attack.

::::::Just some trivia for the trivia: it takes 20 uses of the move for Metronome to get to maximum potential. [http://www.smogon.com/dp/items/metronome Smogon] also says that Metronome only boosts consecutive ''selections'' of the move, meaning it could take as many as 100 turns of using just Rollout to get both Metronome and Rollout to full power. (Statistically, it may be fewer since Rollout may not necessarily reach 5 strikes each use.) — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 06:12, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::::It takes from 40~100 turns.. true. As for the maximum for a single battle, it just cuts out a 50% Power boost. The maximum damage in a single battle is 142,597,348. That's factoring out the Helping Hand bonus only obtainable in a double battle. [[User:Gywall|'''Gywall''']] [[User_talk:Gywall|Talk]] 10:51, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
::::::::When Huge Power is skill swapped, the attack is halved! Why doesn't anyone else know this?![[User:Pyles|Pyles]] 17:23, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::I've seen that it takes 10 uses of the move for Metronome to get to maximum potential, not 20. And Pure Power bonus isn't affect by Skill Swap. The maximum damage would be, in this case, 142,597,368 HP.

==Shuckle and Berries==

I think some information must be clarified about Shuckle and Berries(or Oran Berries):

* Exactly how many time it takes for Shuckle to produce Berry Juice? And how is it measured: in steps, in real time, or when Shuckle level up?
* The same as above, for Rare Candy.
* And more important: is this feature still available on further generations? i.e., can Shuckle produce Berry Juice(and Rare Candy) on generations III and IV?

A little aside: I hope so. -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]]([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 23:25, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

==Damage Trivia==
"Although the circumstances would be nearly impossible, a level 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, Metronome held item, Power Trick, a Skill Swap to Huge Power or Pure Power, and the Defense Curl/Rollout combo. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 Ledyba or Yanma that have been hit with negative Defense modifiers (such as Screech), it can deal over 210,000,000 damage."

Wouldn't a Choice Band Ho-Oh with Huge/Pure Power and a maximum attack stat and attack modifiers do more damage to a Level 1 Dry Skin Paras with negative defence modifiers with an attack such as Sacred Power? Besides the point, it seems like a weird thing to put in trivia. --[[User:EmpoleonDynamite|EmpoleonDynamite]] 14:19, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

* Agreed. It's highly impractical as well, since that situation is way too hard to reproduce anyway. I do enjoy trivias, but this is just ridiculously specific. -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 02:05, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
::Ho-Oh max attack is 788 with Pure Power (against 1,228 for a Pure Power and Power Tricked Shuckle) and Sacred Fire power is 100 (960 for a Defense Curled Rollout on the fifth turn). Anyway, maximum damage would be 26,807,962 HP.

EnteiFire: /* Power Trick */

Does anyone know if Berry juice can become a rare candy in generation III and IV? i read on another page that an oran berry will become berry juice.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Kendai}} ([[User talk:Kendai|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Kendai|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

-I suppose in regards to this little thing, I must wonder if we should keep the Berry Juice for the later gens up anymore, as it seems no one seems to know how you get it.- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Tsum}} ([[User talk:Tsum|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tsum|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
