Power Trick swaps stat-ups with the opponant. Not actual attack stats.

Say you swaggered a 300 Attack Infernape, it would then have 600 attack (+2 boost). If you the Power Tricked this Infernape, you would not get 600 attack, you would get your Shuckle's attack but with the +2 boost of Swagger.

Power Trick is basically Psych-Up but for Attack and Special Attack only.

Encore/Toxic/Rest/Sleep Talk is like the only somewhat usable Shuckle set, and by usable I mean, don't use it as it's absolute trash.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Bold Nature
Evs: 212 Hp / 252 Def / 44 Sdef
- Seismic Toss
- Sing / Thunder Wave
- Softboiled
- Ice Beam

Don't use +Sdef natures, unless you are using it in the uber metagame where it actually needs the extra SDef.

Using Bold nature + 252 Def evs, DOUBLES it's resistance to physical attacks, and despite having only 130 defence max, only two non-STABed physical attacks can actually ohko it. Those being Explosion, which beats anything not ghost/rock or steel anyway, and a Focus Punch from like 280 attack or more.

You need an attack move on it lol, or you are just set-up bait.

Skarmory is a great Physical wall. Although Heracross can actually beat it.

Skarmory @ Leftovers / Shed Shell
Impish Nature
evs: 252 hp / 252 def / 6 atk
- Drill Peck
- Whirlwind / Roar
- Spikes / stealth rock
- Roost

Walls a lot of things. Even a Metagross Thunderpunch is a 3hko, so you can still wall them and just Roost off the damage.

Shed Shell is a nice gimmick option to escape Magnezone's Magnet Pull ability.

Although if you want something to stop Heracross then Gliscor is a good choice.

Gliscor @ Leftovers
Impish
evs: 252 hp / 252 def / 6 atk
- Aerial Ace
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Stealth Rock / Knock Off

Gliscor will wall pretty much every fighting Pokemon that isn't Ice Punch Medicham.

Actually, I'm pretty sure what power trick does is swap Shuckle's attack stat with its defense stat. A really cool idea, but since Shuckle's attack stat is so low, any physical attack will wipe him out. It's best to just give Shuckle Toxic and have him stall like crazy.

No. It swaps attack BOOSTS with the opponant.

I have a Shuckle on my team, and straight from serebii's attack dex, it says "Swaps user's own attack and defense."

power trick swaps attack and def with itself....
Power swap is with the opponent.
and using power trick on shuckle leaves it to be 1hko'd by any pokemon in the game.
Also... Power trick makes it an inferior special wall.... defeating the purpose of it being a physical wall as you wanted.
