Physical Sweeper Shuckle (Sturdy)

Choice Band will increase the damage of Shuckle's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. The Shell Bell item option is to help Shuckle recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Sturdy, ohko moves fail when used against Shuckle.
◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ◆ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ◆ Rock Slide is a physical STAB-boosted 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to make the foes flinch). ◆ Rollout is a physical STAB-boosted 30-base power Rock-type move (power doubles with each hit. Repeats for 5 turns). ◆ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. Power doubles on dig). ◆ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ◆ Sludge Bomb is a physical 90-base power Poison-type move (30% chance to poison the target).
