Overview

Shuckle represents the extreme of possible bulk for any raid boss. Not only does it have the highest defense in the game, but it barely does any damage, which slows down an attacker’s energy gain. Even the mightiest Kyogre in torrential rain doesn’t come close to defeating Shuckle by itself.

Fortunately, Shuckle’s utter lack of offensive presence means that 2 players with a couple of appropriate counters should make this an easy raid.

Approach

Team composition

  • Don’t think too hard - you only need to use 1, maybe 2 Pokemon apiece
