Here's a Pokémon that receives plenty of discussion from fans for a number of reasons. This creature is supposed to be a scale insect, but it resembles a worm-like creature that lives inside a moon rock. Its stats are a collection of extremes: boasting the highest base defenses of all Pokémon (230, each!), but having the lowest stats in everything else including, sadly enough, its HP. However, this doesn't stop Shuckle from being used by trainers.
* [[Armored But Frail]]: ''The'' most definitive example of this trope, with only 2 Mega Evolved Pokémon equalling its 230 Physical Defense, and only Regice's 200 coming remotely close to its 230 Special Defense. However, Shuckle's incredible defenses are offset by its abysmal 20 HP stat, which ties for third lowest of any Pokémon with the likes of Margikarp, Feebas, and Duskull.
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
* [[Item Caddy]]: Is the only way you can get Berry Juice,<ref>except in Gen V, where it's also available as a prize on the Royal Unova</ref> which, if held long enough in Gen II, becomes [[Rare Candy]].
Line 486 ⟶ 487:
* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: Can still learn moves that need super-strength (ex.: Rock Smash) despite being described as having weak and limp muscles.
** However, it still has the worst offensive stats in the game.
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Shuckle currently ties with Mega Aggron and Mega Steelix for the highest Defense of any Pokémon, at a gargantuan 230. Of course, they blow Shuckle out of the water due to better HP, actual offensive utility, and possessing better typing/abilities.
* [[Power Nullifier]]: Learns Gastro Acid, which can remove resistances/immunities and disrupt anything reliant on abilities to be effective.
* [[Stone Wall]]: The definitive one. It has the best defensive stats in the game by a long shot, but it's also absolutely ''pathetic'' in everything else (unfortunately including [[Hit Points]]): Its two defenses make up 91% of its stat total.
