Strategy & play
How Shellder δ plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Inflicts Paralysis — the Defending Pokémon can’t attack or retreat for a turn. A reliable one-turn lock; chain it to stall the opponent out.
- Needs Fighting Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Fighting type, weak to Lightning ×2 — a Lightning attacker doing ≥20 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Shellder δ
- Exploit its Lightning weakness — ≥20 damage one-shots it.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.
