What is the point of a contrary Shuckle?

Shell Smash and memes.

>>31615203
Shell smash boosts defenses

>>31615203
Close combat.

>>31615203
Shell smash boosts its Def and SpD instead of lowering them. It also harshly lowers Atk, SpA and Speed at the same time, but shuckle doesn't need those stats, and it doesn't get anything better to efficiently boost both defenses at once.

>>31615203
Speed boosts off of Sticky Web. An allied Acid Spray boosts SDef 2 stages. Screech becomes a boost.

Ok, so there is no point.

I thought that Shuckle have retreat anyway.

>>31615203
The Shell Smash tactic like what everyone here is saying. Couple that with Infestation/Rest/Sleep Talk/Some poison ass move, you've got a good build
