Uses

| 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. | ||

| Old Man Shuckle sought out this purple Shuckle for its ability to create a special juice that was necessary for a special medicine to ensure Pokémon obedience. However, Team Rocket got a hold of the Shuckle and drank its juice pure, which had the effect of making all nearby Pokémon obsessed with them. Old Man Shuckle was able to cure this by throwing a powder at them that apparently acted as an antidote. | ||

Trivia
