Aegislash

Another strategy is to get lucky with Aegislash, if Cloyster decides to go for Liquidation twice, then both King’s Shield managed to not fail, this should be possible0+ Atk Cloyster Liquidation vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Aegislash-Blade: 114-135 (43.6 - 51.7%) – guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recoveryWhile we do252+ Atk Aegislash-Blade Sacred Sword vs. 0 HP / 252 Def Cloyster: 118-140 (48.9 - 58%) – guaranteed 2HKOHere is the set:AegislashAbility: Stance ChangeEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDAdamant Nature- King’s Shield- Sacred Sword- Psycho Cut- Shadow Claw

Arceus-Rock

A Simple AnswerMostly Pokemons with high defense, super effective against Cloyster or Pokemons with high special AttackI hoped I’ve helped!

Basically anything with a strong super effective/regular effective STAB and a priority move can easily defeat Cloyster. Some examples are Scizor, Aegislash, etc. There are a few other methods I can think of to defeat it. 1 way I can think of to is to trick a Choice Item to it while it is using Shell Smash. I can think of a couple users like Rotom forms, Celebi and Jirachi among others.Also, I can of a few other ways. You can Toxic Stall with Toxapex for instance and you will only worry about coverage moves like Rock Blast. Additionally, you can Paralyze it and outspeed it with other Pokemon. Note that this method isn’t foolproof and may require you to sack a Pokemon due to it not being Paralyzed. Also, a Burn is extremely crippling to it as it halfs it Attack, and hence, its Skill Link Ability is not nearly as effective.So, while this is not certainly every way to work around it, these are certainly some ways. My prefered method is Burning it and Priority moves but what whatever works for you.6
