In [[Generation II]], if a Shuckle is made to hold a standard [[Berry]], it will in time break down into {{DL|Drink|Berry Juice}}, which doubles its effectiveness. If held even longer, the Berry Juice will harden and turn into a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}. This functionality was removed from later generations.

===Behavior===
===Behavior===
Rather than actively hunting and foraging for food like most other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, it tends to collect berries and store them in its shell. The berries inside are liquefied and fermented by the Shuckle's digestive juices, which are then consumed by the Shuckle. These juices are also used to dissolve rocks for the Shuckle to hide under.
