why do people not think shuckle is a turtle sure it is the mold pokemon and sure it takes inspiration from scale insects and sure it is a bug type but that is like saying gyarados is not based on a dragon because it has elements of a wind sock and is the atrocious pokemon according to the pokedex but shuckle obviously is based on a turtle in how it looks and how it moves and if pokemon were meant to be taken literally then no mushroom pokemon would ever be grass type or no arachnid pokemon would be bug type but shuckle can be based on more than one thing just like every other pokemon and a turtle is one of them so please do not argue my favorite pokemon does not get discussed much here and i hate to see it so hostile
