100iv Shuckle, does he do good in gyms?

so walking in the woods and i hatched a 100iv shuckle, i am considering to powering him up to lvl 30 just because i like the turtle and for giggles but mainly because i want to put him in gyms and lvl 30 is like a good lvl for be a little strong

but has actually anybody fought a shuckle lvl 30 in gyms? does he resist a little, does he looks pretty a while? how is to fight a shuckle in a gym? because ive never fought any shickle in gyms

A lvl 30 DT on Dragonite will take 20% of his health. Will be very useful to charge outrage for the next defender in the gym.

so the turtle is like a good pokemon to fill the bar for the next one?

I'm going to go slightly off topic and ask whats the point of shuckle. It's something i've always wondered.

It doesn't evolve.
It isn't a rare pokemon.
It has no special ability.
It has no potential use in combat.
It looks ugly.

Dunsparce is similar, in that it's pointless in every way.

Why were these pokemon invented? What is their purpose?

In the original game you could make some kind of berry juice, which if I remember right could harden into candy if left long enough. Would have been useful if Shuckie were used to brew rare candy for other types of pokemon if put as a buddy.

Dunsparce is arguably better because it can launch more charge moves by gaining energy from losing HP.

In Pogo it's pointless like you say. But in online battles for the main series games he can be one of the funniest pokemon to use. You can do things like swap its attack with its defense making it have insanely high attack and with a trick room set up before that you're in for some fun :D But he's actually had some more viable usages competitively that aren't quite as fun. And as for looking ugly, that's an opinion, I think he looks hilarious. And what does not evolving have to do with anything? Most legendary pokemon don't evolve...
