How do you counter a shuckle with Protect, Rest, and Toxic?

Nov. 27, 2016

My friend and I battle a lot, and he came up with a new strategy of using a Shuckle with Protect, Rest, and Toxic. It gets really annoying and the Toxic counter eventually destroys all my Pokemon. I’ve countered the Toxic with steel Pokemon and a Grimer, but he just uses Protect on my moves, and when he gets low, the Shuckle rests. Can someone please help me?

1. Boosting Sweepers with an immunity to ToxicThese include:-Swords Dance Lucario-Curse Muk-Coil Arbok-Calm Mind Cobalion-Shift Gear Klinklang

And much more.

2. SubstituteYou can combine it with boosting move or not, but Substitute gives an immunity to Shuckle’s main damaging move, Toxic.

3. TauntTaunt will destroy this Shuckle, disallowing it to make us of any status move and leaving it vain for 2 turns.
