What do the attacks on Shuckle 51 cost, and what do they hit for?
Every attack printed on the card, with the Energy it asks for.
| Attack | Energy cost | Cards of Energy | Printed damage | Damage per Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toxic Saliva | 2 Grass | 2 | — | — | Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. It now takes 20 Poison damage instead of 10 after each player's turn (even if it was already Poisoned). |
Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.
The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.
One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Back to summaryWhat Shuckle 51 does without attacking
Shuckle 51 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.
Why this sits apart from the attacks
An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.
What does being a Fighting card do for Shuckle 51?
Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.
17,249 cards carry an energy type. The note under each name is the weakness printed most often on that group.

What being a Fighting card is worth
Groups that most often print a Fighting weakness: Colorless (2,173 cards), Lightning (1,520 cards) and Darkness (1,249 cards). Against those, this card's printed damage counts double. Going the other way, Fighting cards are themselves most exposed to Grass.
What knocks out Shuckle 51 in one hit, and what does it knock out?
Weakness doubles the damage a Grass attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 20 printed damage rather than 40.

Shuckle 5140 HPWhy this card was picked to stand opposite
Of the 1,853 cards in the archive that can remove Shuckle 51 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 20 printed damage against a bar of 20. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

| Decidueye ex (12) | Perfect Order | 320 | 240 | 480 |
40 HP against a Grass ×2 weakness means any Grass attack printed at 20 damage or more is enough. 1,875 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Back to summaryWhat is Shuckle as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?
Shuckle 51 is one print of Shuckle. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.
Every Shuckle print on record, split by whether it can still be entered in Standard play.
Legality is read from the print rather than from the Pokémon, so an older copy of the same Pokémon is a different card for tournament purposes.
Back to summaryIs this the strongest Shuckle print, and can the older ones still be played?
18 prints carry this name in the archive. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.
Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

3 of the 18 prints listed here are legal in Standard play. An older print of the same Pokémon is a different card for legality, because legality is read from the print rather than from the name — so owning the cheap old copy does not always mean you can enter with it.
