It's not. With a specific setup (Trick Room + Power Trick), you can make him the fastest and offensively strongest pokemon in the game, but he'll still die in one hit to Quick Attack.

shuckle sucks outside of setting up sticky webs

he has phonominal defense and SpDef, but the worst HP of all fully evolved pokemon (except Shedinja), plus no recovery besides rest. and you can't use him offensively because his attacking stats are bad. he gets worn down fast and cannot heal himself.

shuckle can't learn trick room. you would have to have trick room on a different Pokemon, switch into shuckle and then go for power trick. it's possible but requires setup and an inexperienced opponent

You could also Baton Pass the Power Trick onto Shuckle. Though the only pokemon that can learn all 3 moves is Smeargle.

If you want to read a write up

Shuckle is probably the best hazard setter in the game because of it's incredible bulk and the fact that it can learn Stealth Rock AND Sticky Web.

hes definitely a good hazard setter. him getting access to sticky webs is one of the best things to ever happen to him. with sturdy too, it makes setting up hazards a little bit easier.

Starmie is 10/10 every gen
It dropped out of OU in 7th gen and mostly because of the meta finally having enough offensive+bulky things that boltbeam and psychic weren't enough to make it ultra reliable. And the meta and new hold items in USUM and SS made it finally drop into sad land. :'(

Gengar was also the only other gen 1 Pokemon to always be OU until gen 7.

Shuckle evolving would be fun if only because Evolite Shuckle would be a thing.

I really wish Shuckle got an evolution. Such a good concept they failed to do literally anything usable with.

That's not a thing. They could turn berries into Berry Juice in gen 2, but at no point in time could they ever be used to generate Rare Candies.

Flamethrower has been a TM so I am pretty sure it can learn it now. Talonflame is better though. Articuno is criminally underrated competitively imo and is the best of the three

Besides Mewtwo? Buddy, Mewtwo started falling off the moment there were other "uber" pokmon to oppose it and the Special split.

Gen 2: Curse Lugia was better. And if you didn't teach Mewtwo Submission before transferring to G/S/C then lol.

Gen 3: Mewtwo lost Submission which was a significant blow. Kyogre completely shat on Mewtwo and Attack Forme Deoxys beat Mewtwo at its own game.

Gen 4: Physical/Special split elevated Groudon above Mewtwo too. Ho-oh also would have been higher if it weren't for fucking Stealth Rock at this point. And of course, God descended upon us mortals and our manmade abomination just wasn't special anymore.

Gen 5: Nothing much changed here. Digimon knockoff legendaries weren't quite the gamechangers previous ones were. And it's debatable how much Mewtwo's new signature move helps. (Just how often was it facing Blissey/Evolite Chansey anyway?)

Gen 6: Oh, Mega Mewtwo! Mewtwo is back on to- *Gets swallowed by Mega Rayquaza.*

Gen 7: Ultra Necrozma definitely beats out Mewtwo. Also Stealth Rock was starting to see less use at this point which helps Ho-oh which was only not better than Mewtwo BECAUSE of Stealth Rock.

Gen 8: lolZacian. But they said they cut out most of the pokmon for balance! Oh? Most of them are back now? lolShadow Rider. Rabbit riding a MLP knockoff outspeeds Mega Mewtwo Y (Oh wait, Mega Evolutions are gone. Sorry Mewtwo.) AND gets a fucking boost every time it nukes something. Leading to a snowball effect that's pretty difficult to stop.

Wait, but isn't Mewtwo the uber Pokemon? Most especially because they introduced the whole mega evolution and basically made his stats soar higher than even pokemon god?
