[SET COMMENTS]
In a metagame renowned for its fast pace, Shellos stands out for its longevity and ability to slowly crawl towards a defensive sweep. Curse and Amnesia allow it to set up and become almost impossible to beat, and Facade capitalizes on Curse's Attack boost, as well as any status it acquires when setting up. Facade is favoured because of its neutral coverage and the relative infrequency of Ghost-types. With the given bulk investment, Shellos can beat even Ferroseed one-on-one. However, Shellos's reliance on a Normal-type attack means it requires support from users of Dark-type coverage, such as Pawniard and Mienfoo, to help with Frillish and other Ghost-types. It also needs Poison-type support from Koffing or Foongus to deal with Grookey. Natu can switch into and force out Foongus, which can otherwise be problematic.
