Shuckpluff makes Arceus look bad. Shuckpluff is like the Ferrothorn of the future. Shuckpluff is FFulpkcuhs spelled backwards.
I forgot, what's its typing?
Rock/Bug/Grass/Flying, obviously.
I guess I could work out the type chart on it based on that.
normal 0.5x
fighting 0.5x
flying 2x
poison 1x
ground 0x
rock 4x
bug 1x
ghost 1x
steel 2x
grass 0.25x
fire 2x
water 1x
electric 1x
psychic 1x
ice 4x
dragon 1x
dark 1x
4x weak to stealth rock. Yeah, that is not going to cut it for a defensive pokemon. It will probably fall to NU regardless of how high its defensive stats are. Besides that weaknesses to flying, rock, steel, fire and ice means it's weak to scizor's bullet punch and mamoswine's ice shard, while its resistences of normal, fighting, ground and grass aren't really that good, except maybe to counter breloom.
I conclude that Shuckpluff due to its typing doesn't even come close to being as good as ferrothorn.
That's untrue though. Here is some actual info on Shuckpluff: Stats, typing, abilities, and movepool
