[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.

In a metagame renowned for its fast pace, Shellos stands out for its longevity in games and ability to slowly crawl towards a win condition. (Make it clearer that Shellos is a defensive sweeper) Curse and Amnesia allow it to setup and become almost impossible to beat, and Facade capitalises on the offensive boost that Curse provides. (Mention the most important thing, which is that Facade lets you hit hard through burn and take advantage of status) With the given EVs allowing Shellos to reach 27/14/14 bulk with Eviolite, it can beat even Ferroseed in a 1v1 situation. However, Shellos' reliance on a Normal-type attack means it requires support from users with Dark-type coverage such as Pawniard and Mienfoo to help with Ghost-types (either just say Frillish or put it as "Frillish and other Ghost-types" as pretty much every other Ghost is irrelevant) as well as Poison-type support from Koffing or Foongus to deal with Grookey. (Mention dealing with Foongus, too)
