Okay, this might seem dumb but hear me out.
Has the contrary ability
Can learn shell smash
Doesn't need to evolve to be cool

It could use an eviolite if it had an evolution

If it had reliable recovery than maybe, it's only current option is Rest.

Shuckle isn’t even used on stall, it’s a hyper offense mon.

Shuckle is a terrible stallmon, it doesn't do anything and also hueg defenses means shit if it has piss HP.
If you are tryinf anything else than Power Switch Rollout memes you are doing it wrong.

Shuckle has no reliable recovery and isn't immune to any status. All it really has going for it for stall is the statline and infestation.
Its genuinely better on offense than stall just to barf out webs/rocks and then die.

If you wanted to do this, you would be better off with a Magic Guard Clefable.

Acupressure Rollout is a valid set.

has anyone fucked around with this nigga and guard split? only time this meme is used is with chansey/blissy but what other mons could use a good def/sdef boost?

throw in a cutiefly with speed swap and you could make any SFMA into something useable.

Shuckle is living proof that increasing base stats gives diminishing returns. Dude wasted hundreds of points making it’s defensive stats sky high when it could be just as bulky with relatively normal levels of HP Def and Sp Def.

It's actually used on hyper offense teams. Because it has sturdy, it can be a sticky web user that doesn't need a focus sash, so it can run mental herb or red card

It's not a reliable combo at any VGC level, because it's hard shut down by Taunt, but it's especially bad in Series 12 when there are restricteds running around.

Stalling isn't even Shuckle's best quality.
Shuckle's suicide lead set is what makes it better in Ubers than a lot of actual Ubers.

Many teams don't have taunt on anything. Not sure why, but have a look on victoryroad.
