I havent seriously used shibi. I used a gimmick coil + zap cannon set and I actually got pretty lucky with zap cannon. thunder seems more reliable though and a 30% chance to paralyse is not bad either. Shibi really likes para support.
After one coil thunder has approx 93% meaning a 28% chance to get the para hax and a 7% chance to miss
zap cannon has about 66% and therefore a 66% to get the para hax, but at the same time a 34% chance to miss
I dont know atm if zap cannon got the power buff to 120, but if not thunder does more damage.
So zap cannon is more like high risk high payoff. thunder is more reliable and by the time you hit a zap cannon, you might have gotten a para hax with thunder anyways.
The problem with coil is that shibirudon's physical movepool is mostly inferior to his special movepool. So he doesnt get much from the attack boost (because running wild bolt and thunder/zap cannon does not make much sense)
His physical options are:
Rockslide, Crunch, Return, Brick Break, Dragon Claw, maybe Dragon Tail
Dragon Claw get's nice coverage with flamethrower and crunch hits ghosts and psychics but the rest doesnt help him when he has better special moves
He is still hella cool and has decent bulk so I guess he could be a nice option for lower tiers
