Talk:Shuckle (Pokémon)

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.

Power Trick

Shuckle learning Power Trick would make it really powerful atacking, combine that with a powerful move & ... -Theininen 17:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

However, it will have the crappest defence ever. TESHIGIGAS 18:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Always a drawback. TTEchidna 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.

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 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. 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 modifierColbenik 22:43, 13 January 2009

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. -- Professional Mole(Talk here) 23:25, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
