Shuckle got a massive power boost in Sword and Shield. He can now get Infestation as an egg move. While it does do a little bit more than wrap on the initial hit, it is also bug type which nothing is immune to.

It's really not that weak. It lacks stab early on the in the early gens, and it's super weak to specially attacking water and grass types, but it's got great attack, high defense, and great STAB moves. There's certain bosses in different games that would be hard for it, but overall it'd make for some pretty easy challenge runs.

Struggle and Rollout are key to this run

@135forte 11 ай бұрын

You might want to look into damage thresholds for more efficient attempts at bosses. According to Scott's Thoughts, the most important levels to change damage calcs are ones that end in 3, 5, 8 or 0, so if you are going to just grind attempts hoping for good RNG like you did on Bugsy, those levels are the best ones to do it. In at least a few of your runs you have actually noticed the jump because you mention how you 'randomly' do a lot more damage at those levels occasionally.

Every time I see Shuckle, all I can think of are these sprite animations I watched a while back, that had a super self-confident Shuckle who'd proudly announce himself every time he appeared. He was also rather unfortunate - he ended up in Hell at one point - but he never lost his cool, mostly because he was so dim =P

@mayonakao2488 11 ай бұрын

"Why do we even learn Bide?" --I think that classic pokemon were given movepools that would represent their typical, on-theme, animal behaviors. Behaviors which are often entirely redundant if not useless in combat. An infamous example of this design philosophy would be how the hyper-quick Zapdos learns Agility.

hey MDB thanks a lot for your challenges, it's always fun to watch them. As for the dv chart, you were right that it was a decent shuckle, but ideally you would want high dvs in the stat you are already good at, because it makes a bigger difference. If you look at ranges your stats can get to, you realize that the range for higher stats are greater than the ranges with low stats. Even if you need your attack and speed for the challenge, you should keep that in mind. The same goes for natures in later games

(7:14) Actually, Fury Cutter has 95% accuracy, so only a 1/20 chance of missing. (You might've been thinking of Rollout's 90% accuracy when you said "1 in 10" there.) (8:06) Oh, geez... 47 attempts when you're at more than double Scyther's level... (10:16) If you're already Cursed, then you do take damage from it on turns that you're underground. But, Curse can't hit you if you're already underground when it's used. (16:05) 348 Def and 340 SpDef are certainly something. (23:17) And that's game!

Your strategy with Shuckle at the end there reminded me of my first Moon playthrough where I had to do something very similar with one of the kahunas. My entire team was extremely weak to the kahunas ace and kept getting destroyed in one hit, save for my Pyukumuku. I Toxic'd, Rested, and Countered until that living hell was finally over. I don't remember how long it took, but it felt like eternity. Before that, it took me around 45 minutes to even get the Pyukumuku to spawn so I thank the gods I found my Friend (his nickname). Shuckle and Pyukumuku are Toxic & Rest strat buddies 5ever. Also, "Then Espeon came out and put the fear of God into me". Amazing. 10/10

Some time ago a poketuber by name of Scott's Thoughts released a program that allowed for solo runs like this to be more easily customisable. I'm not aware of exactly what it entails but it may help you set up your solo runs as EVs and natures go. Or you could ask him directly, man to man, he's a very nice guy.

MDBAMA So, I'm curious - what is your stance on accuracy debuffing moves for solo challenges> This is written on your Shuckle solo - when I did the run, I ran into the same challenges (stopped hard by Scyther) and decided Flash was a perfectly acceptable alternative to avoid overleveling. Compared to evasion strategies, it is difficult to use in a large Pokemon battle (not enough uses to debuff entire teams).

We've been having to deal with workers in the house a lot recently, so I feel for you there. It took forever to get our carpet replaced upstairs cause they wouldn't respond to my parents' calls in a timely manner, and then when they DID install the carpet they could only do part of it because only part of it had arrived...😅 Glad that's over. Anyway, gotta admit, watching this was brutal. I knew Shuckle had some bad stats but holy crud. Like only having 100 HP at Level 51, when most Pokémon would have twice as much at that point. Not a challenge I would enjoy. It also occurred to me you could counteract having to rely on Rest so much by having Shuckle hold a Berry that would wake you up immediately, so you could still attack. But there's only one such Berry in Gen 2, apparently, called the Mint Berry. And it can only be found on Route 39 and in Pewter City. So probably not that helpful. Besides, if you aren't using items in battle, an item like Leftovers makes much more sense.
