In the anime

A Shuckle was one of the residents of Millennium Town in Pikachu and Pichu.

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