Shuckle is a Bug/Rock-type Pokémon (National Dex #213) with a middling stat total of 505. You can have one built for Sword & Shield and BDSP, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.
Its best stat is Defense at 230, which makes it a defensive wall. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.
Defensively, Shuckle takes super-effective damage from Water, Rock, Steel. It resists Normal, Poison. Its ability options are Sturdy, Gluttony, Contrary, and you choose which one your copy carries.
In-game, Shuckle has 34 recorded encounter locations across Sword & Shield (15), BDSP (19) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. A shiny Shuckle ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
