Old Man Shuckle

Old Man Shuckle (Japanese: ツボ老人 Old Man Tsubo) is a character of the day in the Pokémon anime who appeared in A Better Pill to Swallow.

He is a maker of Shuckle juice, owning many bottles of it. He makes use of the many wild Shuckle in the area where he lives. He produces medicines from the Shuckle juice, one of which was used to cure Ash's indigestion when they first met. Old Man Shuckle promised to teach his recipes to Brock if the group caught a Shiny Shuckle for him but Brock eventually decided against using man-made products as a Pokémon Breeder.

However, Old Man Shuckle also plays up his actual renown: while Ash and Brock were amazed at the beams of light that appeared when he spoke about himself, Misty just took the flashlight he was holding away.

Uses

Old Man Shuckle's Shuckle
Shuckle (multiple)
Old Man Shuckle uses multiple Shuckle that live in the area where he lives, for their ability to create a special juice that can be used as a medicine. Only wild Shuckle can produce quality juice, 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 drank the juice, the pheromones inside the juice made the Shuckle follow Team Rocket.

None of Shuckle's moves are known.
