i never ever see shell bell as an option for team building, so i thought i would take the time to maybe make people think about using it instead of leftovers as in some cases it is a better choice.
leftovers - 6% no matter what on most pokemon this option is probaby the best (pokemon that sub and use 3-4 moves to set up) and on walls unless it can use toxic orb or black sludge. obviously as leftovers is unaffected by what damage you do and how much you set up the use will of course be easier
shell bell - instantly dismissed and maybe it shouldnt, i currently run a few pokemon with this object that are there to sweep and have had success especially on pokemon that do not need the set up time to do this damage, i use it on metagross and the sheer power of its attacks make it heal for more then leftovers more often then not (sometimes upwards to 25%) its mainly a modest 7-15% on the majority of pokemon, i might also try this on porygon-z due to its high damage output as well.
in brief, i feel shell bell is a forgotten item overshadowed by the leftovers and is wrongly ignored in sweeper circles (would you rather have your 6% every turn or 15% from that huge tri attack or meteor mash) and this item can and will save your sweepers backside from an untimely death due to burn or poison (12% remember leftovers cant cover this) which could be the differance between a kill or 2 extra or a loss.
thoughts? no flames i just want to throw this into the open as i feel that currently the item is neglected in some cases it is better then leftovers
