I'm really bummed out over this lil guy. I was hoping to use him in a playthrough, but its stats, ability and movepool just dont make sense to me.
Anyone have any ideas for a pyukumuku set?
>it's innards form a FIST
>can't attack
I'm so mad
It's a water type shuckle
AKA you can't use it in your story team
water/poison star is the superior pokemon
Yeah, you can't use him well in the story but he could have a lot of competitive presence over a wide field of tiers. He's a shuckle who is solely meant for stall, not setting up teammates.

Hes not for fighting hes an insurance policy.
>invest in hp
>invest as little as possible in defenses, 0 ivs and evs
>slap a rocky helmet on it
>enemy set up because you fugged up
>instead of your guy taking a 0ko you send this faggot out instead to get koed

Outside of doubles, best you'really probably gonna get is running baton pass and some setup moves. You could also run toxic, sub, protect, recover, but you'll have to switch out vs poison, steel, taunt, immunity, etc.

It seems really counter productive that they gave it low HP with high defenses when it has an ability that favors the opposite.

what could they have possibly been thinking
its stats are completely counter-intuitive to its gimmick
i guess we'll have to see how it pans put, but it really seems like gamefreak just added pyukumuku as a fluff pokémon

>>it's innards form a FIST
But it doesn't just fling its innards at enemies.
>>29779823
It actually does

This thing could have been an interesting support mon if they had given Wobbuffet style defenses instead of going the Shuckle route.
With the stats it got, it's ability is effectively just a worse Aftermath. Mono Water typing and a pretty underwhelming movepool just seal its fate to be PU forever.
