Well, one good thing is that this is Shuckle's first time as a GX/EX/Prime or anything similar.
But the good things end there because the rest of this card is hot garbage. First off 170 HP on a Pokemon worth two prize cards is never a good idea. Next up is the ability, which is very niche has most Pokemon require 3 energies for most of their attacks in this meta. Afterwards. we have it's Triple Poison attack which is very underwhelming for a Pokemon GX with only one normal attack, especially one with so little health. If it did 40 or 50 in between turns, it might be worth it but even then probably not. And finally, there is it's GX attack which is atrocious. It does 40 damage and paralyses the opponent's Pokemon. I get that this can be used after Triple Poison to get 130 on the opponent's active before they can attack but the problem is 130 doesn't knock out anything except plain basics and stage 1s and do you really want to waste your GX attack for the game when almost literally any other GX attack could either OHKO most other GX Pokemon or dramatically change the game around via other means?
All in all, this card is an absolute joke. I can just imagine whoever was designing dying from laughter because it was so bad. The worst part about it isn't it's unplayability, it's the fact that you have to pity the person who pulls this as one of their ultra rares, especially if it's their Full Art or Rainbow Rare.
