First look at them all:SpinarakAriadosShuckleSurskitMasquerainKricketuneSewaddleSwadloonLeavannyGalvantulaNow take only the good ones into account. That would be Galvantula and Shuckle. Compare them. Now, Shuckle may have bulk but speed is really not to count on. Galvantula on the other hand, is way faster allowing him to set up before some Pokemon.
ShuckleProsDefenses are sky highContrary + Shell Smash is also an optionAlso access top Stealth Rock makes for an OK hazard setter5 speed makes Gyro Ball practically ineffective against itLong lasting if used rightGreat combo with Toxic + InfestationSturdy means it ca hold an item
ConsHP really is a let down with this thingThe low speed can also be a problemAbsolutely no offensesSusceptible to TauntAbsolutely useless against steel types
GalvantulaProsGood base speed at 108OK offensesCan be used as offense once Sticky Web is upGood against Flying-typesCompound Eyes and Thunder is just great boosting Thunder to a nice 91% accuracy
ConsOK offenses means can’t do much to defensive Pokemon at all108 USED to be fast. Not anymore with all these new Pokemon at 110 and aboveDefenses are just crapFocus Sash takes up the item slotIt dies fast so can’t set up again once Sticky Web is gone
Overall, I would choose Shuckle but the choice is yours! Bran flakes rocks!
Hope this helps!
Ok then. Lets look at the sticky web users! (batman transition)You have leavanny, ariados, galvantula, shuckle, masquerain and kricketune. Oh and smeargle. Now we have to figure out what you want:Okay folks we have a good boxing match set up right heretotally agree Bob!In the offensive corner we have galvantula!Galvantula is easily the best offensive sticky web setter, just give it max speed max special attack and 4 hp and you have a sashed force to be reckoned with, with its compound eyes thunder, plus bug buzz and energy ball.and in the defensive corner!Shuckle!shuckle is a pain to deal with. You have many options, contrary shell smash and toxic infestation. But mainly you need rest. So put sticky web infestation rest and toxic/shell smash is your best bet.In the end it all depends on whether you need a defensive or offensive SW setter.Hope I helped!
These Pokemon (including the evolution line) can learn “Sticky Web"Ariados, Shuckle, Surskit, Kricketune, Sewaddle, and Galvantula
Sticky Web is one of those strategic-use moves that you would want to go first ; such as Stealth Rock, Toxic Spikes, etc.. So, you want a Pokemon with incredible speed.
Right off the bat, it’s Galvantula. Galvantula has the second highest base stat total based on these. Not, only will he provide this move fast, you can support him with some STAB - special attack moves too. Honestly, I think he’ll be a great Pokemon for you. Also, even though he has low defenses, he has minimal weakness too - fire and rock ; 2/18. This will definitely be helpful.
Your next option is shuckle. Now, you’re probably thinking, why should a have a slow Pokemon like him. Well, there are two reasons:1) His defense. The chances of knocking out shuckle in one shot is pretty low. You would have a good chance to use this move.2) In double/triple battles, you can have a support Pokemon who knows “Trick Room”. Therefore, your shuckle would be the fastest for 5 turns, and you can use any move you want. Some fast Pokemon that can learn this are mismagius, espeon, etc.. Or, you can have a Pokemon like Dusknoir who’s slow - but using trick room would make both Pokemon great sweepers and a great team.
Both are great choices for you! ; Then again it is up to you! Hope I helped! :)
Galvantula is very good at setting Sticky Web, as afterwards he can deal enough damage to opposing Pokés that they can be late-game cleaned/revenge killed later. Shuckle is a defensive beast what with his ridiculous ability to take hits and can set spikes, toxic stall, and knock off the opponent’s item, which can completely shut down some choice and sash users. Finally, Smeargle (How could you forget the artistic cow-dog?!) has incredible utility in his literally endless movepool, and can spore/dark void opponent’s to inaction, set any entry hazard, baton pass stat changes, and generally boss with moves like Spiky and King’s Shield. Which you use is mostly up to personal preference, as well as if your team needs stat boosts to sweep, weakened opponents to start with (such as Moxie Honchkrow) or a wall to provide an easy switch.
The last Poké I could really think of being good at setting Sticky Web is Beedrill, and only because everyone would expect a mega. First turn they would try to Swords Dance or Stealth Rock or whatever, expecting protect, and then you’d probably get killed. So definitely not the best choice, but you could work it in if you wanted to.
