10 Hated Video Game Builds (That Are Secretly Really Good)

Shuckle is both a meme and an object of ridicule among Pokemon players. The Pokemon has the highest defense stats in the game, making it an impenetrable fortress, but it also has one of the lowest attack values in the game, which means it can't dish out any considerable damage from behind its shell.

For this reason, most players choose to ignore Shuckle, when in fact, its peculiar disposition has the potential to turn it into the most valuable Pokemon on your team.

Thanks to its incredible defense, Shuckle can tank pretty much every hit, including the ones that would instantly KO your other party members. If you combine it with some attacks that deal damage over time, such as poison or burn-inflicting moves, you can use them with Shuckle or another Pokemon, and then Shuckle can simply wait until the built-up damage eats its enemies alive.

Just make sure to improve Shuckle's health and healing with HP buffs and health-restoring items like the Leftovers so that it can tank even more hits, and your team will be on their way to becoming the masters of the Pokemon war of attrition!
