Shuckle as mildly BM defender?

So Shuckle benefitted overall from the stats update as far as I can tell, and despite its low HP, it supposedly has about average bulk. Has anyone fought a defending shuckle? I was wondering if simply taking up as much time as anything else while giving virtually no gym xp due to its low CP would make it an annoying thing to fight.

It is an exceptionally annoying defender to fight. By far the most annoying thing outside of a Blisslaxking being GR'd every time.

It's easy to beat, but I don't think Shuckle ever loses enough Motivation so that it takes less than 3 battles to knock it out of a gym. And it's so easy to beat that it is almost like an insult - at least with Wobbuffet, you have to put some effort into it. Not much, I know, but it's got like 200HP minimum so you normally have to hit it with at least 1 Charge move, regardless of the Motivation.

It will hardly decay CP at all and takes such little damage to everything but its counters (Rock, steel, and water). At the very least it will take time for the attacker to beat it, which is the goal anyway.

Don’t fuckle with shuckle
