Shuckle

Shuckle with Power Trick is useless IMO, since its HP remains low, and its Defense gets even lower due to getting switched with its abysmally low Attack. But I'm not sure on what's the best for Shuckle, I'll leave it to the other raters xD

GrumpySnorlax came up with this fun little thing a while back;

• Shuckle @ Leftovers
• Adamant Nature
• 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
~ Earthquake
~ Stone Edge
~ Rest
~ Acupressure

Be aware that it's designed for a Sandstorm team. Idk how well it will work otherwise, but it seems to be one of few viable sets. Also, go with the Missy that ST suggested, but IMO it wants Substitute > Magical Leaf, because Missy is a little fragile. A resisted Shadow Ball will do the same damage as a standard Magical Leaf, anyway,
