Using it in a run

Shellder spreads 305 base stat points. Its strongest stat is Defense (100) and its weakest is Special Defense (25), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Electric and Grass. It resists Fire, Ice and Steel in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 14 moves; the hardest-hitting is Hydro Pump at 110 power, available at level 48. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
