Can Shuckle survive this?

If I had a Gigalith with maxed out Attack IV, Adamant Nature, hold a Choice band, Max out it’s attack stat, use Explosion, with the help of Helping hand.

Would Shuckle survive?

vs.

Shuckle’s worst Defense=418Worst HP=181No Sturdy

I used a DMG calculator from Smogon, and there is a guaranteed KO(120.9-142.5%)

Try it-Smogon Damage Calculator

With no Critical hit, 81.3% chance of KO (97.3-114.6%)

Yes if shuckle has sturdy

Level one hundred shuckle without sturdy with minimal defence status will faint.244 is max hp for shuckle 291 is minimal for that attack with minimal defence215 average to maximum defense shuckle

Actual answer: With 252HP standard EV’sIt lives.Even when it has no defense EV’s.

DOUBLES:252+ Atk Choice Band Gigalith Helping Hand Explosion vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Shuckle: 123-145 (50.4 - 59.4%) – 80.9% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

SINGLES (yeahhhh as if it can get Helping Hand, but we’re just here for completion):252+ Atk Choice Band Gigalith Helping Hand Explosion vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Shuckle: 164-193 (67.2 - 79%) – guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Note that 252 HP is a given for Shuckle. No one in their right mind will run 0 HP EV’s on Shuckle. Plus, it won’t even be 1-shot with 0 HP, -Def Nature in Doubles.
