No. Here’s why:Shuckle’s attack stats are, well I’ll leave you to describe them. He will survive any hit, so you might want to give Shuckle the move Swagger.It’s an incredibly annoying move, and can cause hazards for every Pokemon. Let’s say if you gave shuckleRock Slide, it wouldn’t be able to flinch because Shuckle has a state of 5 speed, and wouldn’t do much damage, because of Shuckle’s 10 attack stat.You should build up your Shuckle as the role in your team that puts the opponent through hell and back.Swaggerisn’t really used mutch between different Pokemon, so that’s what makes it unique. It’s funny watching the opponent’s Pokemon make their Pokemon faint!I presume you are going to fight your friend’s team, and seeing as most legendaries have good attack stats, Swagger will cause hell for his team.

Well Shuckle has very low Attack and S.Attack stats. It is usually used as a Staller. Double team is banned though. If you want to use an offensive move your best bet is to use Power-split and Gyro-ball, Rollout is also an option. It is the most practical way of attack with Shuckle. Some people do the gimmick of using him on a Trick-room team and having him use Power-trick to Swap his Defense and Attack stats to make him the hardest hitter in the game, but that is very risky and unlikely to work. Here are some good sets for Shuckle:http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/4964/what-is-a-good-moveset-for-shuckle
