Mine knows:

Toxic: Stall with Shuckles defense. Inflicts toxic poison.

Sandstorm: To damage foes.

Double Team: To stop foes from hitting Shuckle.

Mud Slap: Lowers accuracy while also doing damage.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Icant think of a better moveset for Shuckle!
Yeah, I can't wait for this guy to get to level 100 so I don't have to use it anymore. I was thinking Power Trick, but then it would have low defensive stats.
In double battles you can use trick room to your advantage, and actually sweep with shuckle! Plus maybe you can give him a focus sash for defending against moves like bullet punch from scizor!
Shuckle (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Def / 176 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Power Share
- Toxic
- Sandstorm
- Mud-Slap
Im the best of the best when it comes to move sets for shuckle you want:

Toxic: inflicts damage every turn
Protect: to stall when poisened
Sandstorm: to deal more damag each turn
stonde edeg/rockslide: in case you need to clean up with shuckle

WHatever you do dont teach it power swap! its terrible! it may switch its attack and defense and give huge attack but shuckle is one of the slowest pokemon of them all!
so it will just about always attack last.

For the first one, Why have power trick but no attacking move? It makes no sense. He can not learn Trick room BTW. Also in #2 why have Gyro ball if your offenses are just shrinking and shrinking, you are not going to kill Arceus with that. I would throw Power split in.
hmm. makes sense, what SF said.

You know Shuckles attack is 10, right? How are you going to use it?
._. Sturdy will help it, plus some MORE ATTACK.
Well, it is unexpected at least.
I know, Flaafy.

Hehe. Shuckle's Defenses are GIGANTIC, so Swagger will help Shuckle.
enter image description here

Shuckle @ Lum Berry

Ability: Sturdy

Nature: Hasty (+Speed, -Defense)

-Swagger (SUPER ULTRA GIGA IMPORTANT! Will maximize the foe's Attack, so Bide's useful)

-Bide (Lower defense for Shuckle means that can do a greant quantity of damage)

-Toxic (Stall, stall. Toxic's very useful in every single turn)

-Stealth Rock (YES! Entry Hazard moves are very useful on Shuckle, 'cause of its Attack)

YEAH! A Shuckle that can Stall, give an Entry Hazard and Bide more = EPIC SHUCKLE!
