OK, I want a tank, and I decided to choose shuckle (duh), because it's the best defensive/sp defensinve poke in the game. So, before I start raising mine, which is lvl 34 BTW, what's a good strategy and moveset? Oh yeah and don't ask me to rebreed, unless it's for some fantastically awesome thing on him.
He his is right now:
Shuckle@none
Sturdy
Naughty nature, lvl 34

HP 68
Atk 24
Def 162
Sp atk 22
Sp Def 147
Speed 14

-Rock tomb
-encore
-safeguard
-strength

OK, bye!

i'm afraid you are going to have to rebreed it. naughty is bad, it makes shuckle die to surf. ... easier.

OK, all of your suggestions are good, but I do want the chesto, unless you can give me a reason why I wouldn't, so:
Oh yeah and I will rebread, it won't waste the toxic TM anyway.

Shuckle@chesto berry
careful nature (from the first post, shuckle does lack some sp def.)
toxic
safeguard
rest
sandstorm

how's that?
the only bad thing is that it could do nothing to steel types, but maybe it could survive (it is, after all, a tank) long enough that it would have to struggle. Oh well, I love shuckle and my friend doesn't use steel types.
EDIT: actually I'm thinking of replacing safeguard with encore. Any suggestions about which ones I should use? I see how both of them could be useful.
Bye!

I like this and it works really well! Don't bash me 'cos I use DT! It works!

Shuckle@Leftovers/Lum Berry
Rest
Double Team
Toxic
Dig

DT up, then use Toxic, then use Dig to double the effects of Toxic, then use Rest to heal when your HP is low.

Dig isn't for hurting them. It's for making Toxic twice as damagable without getting hurt as much.
eg. Arcanine used Extremespeed! *not very effective blah blah*
Shuckle used Toxic! Arcanine is poisoned!
Arcanine used Extremespeed! *not very effective blah blah*
Shuckle used Dig! *Arcanine is hurt by poison*
Arcanine used Extremespeed! It missed!
Shuckle used Dig! *Arcanine is hurt by poison*
etc.
etc.

So toxic, rest, siesmic toss, and sandstorm? OK.
BTW, I didn't mean that don't lol at shuckle thing, I was just joking.
sorry if you thought I was serious. I thought the "imaginarily hurt" part would tell you that I was joking. Whatever. Off to bread and get the right nature!

Nine Thou, Potect only works some times and has 5 pp. Dig works all the time and has 15 pp iirc so therefore, Dig is better.
 
Fighting_Master gave a good Shuckle MS already. :/

there's nothing wrong with using your favorite Pokemon to battle, everyone. >_> gosh. If someone likes a certain Pokemon, let them use it.

just so you know, you might have a LITTLE bit of trouble with Shuckle as a tank/sponge/whatever because of its bad Hp. :/

(btw... that picture in your sig of the shiny Pokemon looks a little bit too big imo, Shuckleman. >_> I suggest making it smaller before it gets removed.)

Thanks for supporting me, SapphireL! I will make it smaller, or maybe i'll take away the cleffa image so I can make it just two shiny pictures again.

Protect has 10 PP, so does Dig. Use Protect so you can alter between Attacks.
