Hello everybody, and welcome to a truly disgusting post. Today I will be talking about a new card, Shuckle LTR, and why its so annoying to play against.
Shuckle-GX LTR
Shuckle-GX 170HP [G]
[ABILITY] Protective Pot
Prevent all damage done to this Pokémon by your opponent’s Pokemon with 2 or less Energy attached to them.
[C] Triple Poison
Your opponent’s Active Pokemon is now Poisoned. Put 3 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns.
[C] Wrap-GX 40
Your opponent’s Active Pokemon is now Paralyzed.
Weakness – [R] x2
Resistance – [NONE]
Retreat Cost – [C]
Strategy
This card definitely is stally. It can avoid all damage against Buzzwole and Zoroark, so its only main problem is Rayquaza-GX. This can be countered by heavy energy denial, and healing all damage put onto Shuckle. In a pinch, you can pop its GX attack, allowing you to take another turn. Most turns, you want to play Team Rocket’s Handiwork, to mill their deck a bit more.
