Welp, by trying to prove that Shuckle could be beat, I accidentally
proved that he is still the best.
After reducing the critical hit multiplier from 2x to 1.5x, Swampert's
new maximum damage output is 566,702,568.
However, after much research, Shuckle can learn the move Mimic through
a FR/LG/E/XD Move Tutor, which means that Shuckle can also use Ice
Ball. Here is what I found out:

To make things simple with the calculation, I'm keeping out the super
