Shuckle (Japanese: ツボツボ Tsubotsubo) is a dual-type Bug/Rock Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Being a mold Pokémon, Shuckle is encased in a very hard red shell that has many holes in it. Its body inside the shell is yellow and presumably very soft. Shuckle's limbs appear limp till in use and are completely able.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

The player could attach an Oran Berry (Berry in Generation II) to Shuckle. Over time, the Berry would become Berry Juice. If left attached to Shuckle even longer, it would become a Rare Candy. Its low attacking power is made up with Shuckle's extremely high defenses.

Behavior

Rather then actively hunting and foraging for food like most other Pokémon, it tends to collect berries and store them in its shell. The berries inside are liquefied and fermented by the Shuckle's digestive juices, which are then consumed by the Shuckle. These juices are also used to dissolve rocks for the Shuckle to hide under.

Habitat

Shuckle tend to hide under rocks and fallen logs for long periods of time.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

This Pokémon's main diet consists of berries which it collects and stores in its shell.

In the anime

A Shuckle was one of the residents of Big Town in Pikachu & Pichu.

In A Better Pill to Swallow, an old man was using the Berry Juice that Shuckle makes to create medicine. One of the Shuckle that he befriended was a purple Shuckle whose Berry Juice attracted Pokémon to anyone who drank it. Because of this, Team Rocket made it their mission to steal it.

Butch's Shuckle debuted in Sleight of Sand!.

A Shuckle also appeared in To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry

Trivia

Origin

Shuckle seems to be based on an endolith, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells. Fungi, also known as mold, are common endoliths. This explains why Shuckle is the mold Pokémon.

It may also be based on scale insects – small, shelled parasites that produce a sweet fluid called honeydew that attracts other insects.

It also appears that Shuckle could also be a mixture of several different mollusk in one as a land form. Shuckle seem to have most the major qualities of mollusks. Examples: the shell, each foot being muscular and limp-seeming, the use of acids to receive food or to break down obstacles, likes fermented foods, and lives close to the water in many cases.

Name origin

Shuckle may be derived from shuck, to remove from a husk or pod. Its Japanese name is a repetition of 壷 tsubo, jar, or 富士壺 fujitsubo, barnacle.

In other languages

  • German: Pottrott - From Pott (a colloquial word for jar) and verrotten (to rot), referring to the fermentation of berries in its shell.
  • French: Caratroc - From carapace (shell) and troc (exchange), refering to its ability of transforming berries into berry juice.
  • Korean: 단단지 Dandanji
