[SET COMMENTS]
Shuckle finds a niche in National Dex OU as a lead on Sticky Web teams due to its great bulk and Final Gambit alongside Encore, which provide momentum to its teammates with ease after it sets entry hazards. Encore is vital because it can lock foes into Defog or a stat-boosting move, such as Corviknight, Zapdos, Rillaboom, and Mega Garchomp, allowing Shuckle to more easily set up hazards while also making it easy for its teammates to revenge kill them. Mental Herb is the item of choice for Shuckle to securely set up at least one hazard, as it is very susceptible to Taunt from Pokemon such as Grimmsnarl, Tapu Koko, and Mew; however, that can be replaced with Red Card, which can force out strong attackers and disrupt U-turn and Volt Switch from Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, Rillaboom, and Landorus-T. Bisharp is an essential teammate for Shuckle, as Defiant helps it easily deter Defoggers such as Corviknight and Zapdos, and it's a very threatening wallbreaker and setup sweeper. Serperior's Contrary also pressures Defog. Shuckle's Sticky Web support heavily supports a multitude of slow yet powerful wallbreakers, such as Thundurus-T, Mega Scizor, and Mega Heracross.

Shuckle has no other viable options.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Strong Wallbreakers**: Shuckle, despite its good bulk, can be easily overwhelmed by a plethora of Pokemon such as Kartana, Mega Mawile, and Rillaboom.

**Offensive Water-types**: Offensive Water-types such as Ash-Greninja, Mega Swampert, and Manaphy can 2HKO Shuckle with their STAB moves, thus limiting it to one layer of hazards.

**Substitute and Taunt**: Substitute and Taunt users such as Serperior, Gengar, Tapu Fini, and Tapu Koko are very troublesome for Shuckle, as they can take advantage of it setting hazards or outright block hazards from Red Card sets; however, Shuckle can deal with them through Encore.

Shuckle finds a niche in National Dex OU as a lead on niche Sticky Web teams due to its great bulk, and access to moves such as Final Gambit and Encore, which are very important in Shuckle's role as a Sticky Web setter How so? Mention that they are critical to granting Shuckle’s teammates momentum after it sets Webs/Rocks. Encore is extremely important for Shuckle as it can lock a hazard remover or setup sweeper in Defog or stat-boosting move, such as Corviknight, Zapdos, Rillaboom, and Mega Garchomp, allowing Shuckle to more easily set up hazards for its offensive teammates. Final Gambit is important for Shuckle as it provides momentum for its offensive teammates by taking itself out. Mental Herb is the item of choice for Shuckle, as it is very susceptible to Taunt from Pokemon such as Grimmsnarl, Tapu Koko, and Mew, allowing it to set at least one hazard up; however, that can be replaced with Red Card as an alternative, which can force out strong attacks and disrupt U-turn and Volt Switch from Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, Rillaboom, Landorus-T.

Pokemon that heavily appreciate Shuckle's hazard support with Sticky Web and Stealth Rock make for amazing teammates. Bisharp is an essential teammate for Shuckle, as its ability Defiant helps it easily deter Defoggers such as Corviknight and Zapdos, while also being a very threatening wallbreaker and setup sweeper with its strong STABs and powerful priority in Sucker Punch. Shuckle's Sticky Web support is capable of providing support to a multitude of slow yet powerful wallbreakers, such as Thundurus-T, Mega Scizor, and Mega Heracross, thus making them valuable teammates. Mention Pokemon that deter Defog (Serperior and the aforementioned Bisharp/Thundy)
