Ok.
Well with the new generation Shuckle got Sticky Web, so he could function as a hazards setter along with Stealth Rock. He could stall with Toxic, BOOST HIS DEFENSES WITH A CONTRARY SHELL SMASH, lower your attacking power with Power Split, use Swagger, Encore you into a support move, etc. Basically, he can function as a lead or a mixed wall. He could have a niche for tanking most neutral physical or special attacks, depending on the EVs and have a niche as a bulky lead. If you want, I could go on showdown and get some replays of shuckle
Chandelure is now up and ready for QC checks.
I appreciate the response. However, we've decided to turn Shuckle down yet again for the same reasons. It's literally one of the worst Pokemon anyone could ever use in this fast-paced, offensive metagame. Yes, Sticky Web is a good move, but the move itself is overblown and oftentimes unnecessary to win the game. Using Shuckle puts you at an instant disadvantage due to its sitting duck nature. Sticky Web is still easy to get rid of as well with the vast amount of Rapid Spin and Defog users, so Shuckle is more or less going to be a wasted slot. It's just not worth it.
Eh....I'll take Sableye too.
I would like to reserve Ludicolo please.
Why? Because Ludicolo can now take advantage of the not banned swift swim+drizzle combination, support a manual rain team itself with the use of rain dance and being able to sponge opposing Water-type moves and even creates decent synergy with other rain sweepers, but can also act as a rain team counter or as a pivot to some extent. This is all thanks to it having well-rounded stats, having useful "rain-abusing" abilities that can be used offensively or defensively, and it having a unique typing, which is useful both offensively and defensively also, which can be used for many switch in opportunities to start a sweep, or outdamage and tank hits for your team. This great versatility and unpredictability is why I want to make an analysis for him and show his potential!
