Alright, let's get this over with. Here's the breakdown.
Starting with Shuckle, he wants to be in the active for as long as he can using his little Protective Pot. What is it protecting though? His self esteem? His crippling lack of resistanc eto peer pressure? No. It's that sweet sweet kush. And you have to commit to get some of it. That's why his ability walls against anything with less than two energy. His attack is pretty much pure psychedelic drugs too, and it makes the opponent have a bad trip. His GX attack is when he gets really mad and comes out of his "pot" to throw you around a little bit. Not too much though, he's still chill.
There are three big problems facing the shelled stoner though. Those are a) Rayquaza GX, b) Turning off his ability, and c) being moved. The biggest problem is Rayquaza GX. That's because his attack requires three energy to use, making his minimum higher than Shuckle's maximum wall potential. That's why I partnered him up with Gardie GX. Not only does its attack punish pokemon with large amounts of energy (like Lycanroc GX, the other major hurdle for this deck), but it completely bodies Ray GX, needing only 1 energy against a full-power Ray to OHKO it.
The other cards that are not energy, shuckle, or gardie are used to deny energy from your opponent or get fast return-based setups. To do the energy denial, we have the only two cards that do that in the format (that we know): Enhanced Hammer and Team Skull Grunt. This can completely immobilize Zoroark GX in its tracks, as it usually doesn't run basic energy. This also nerfs Buzzwole by a slightly lesser degree, since they can attack for a single energy, but Skull Grunt can be used to get energies out of their hand, which can hurt since they don't usually run that many energy recovery cards.
This is Shuckle. Don't F***le with Shuckle.
