User:Pro-mole/Shuckle Experiment

The "Great Shuckle Experiment" is a plea to understanding how the heck Shuckle produce Berry Juice(and Rare Candy).

For this experiment, the user has acquired a copy of Pokémon Crystal, in which he captured one Shuckle(nicknamed Sheldon) and is trying to make it produce Berry Juice.

• Level up: didn't work
• Time: the Shuckle was kept in party for more than one hours, with the handheld turned on, to no effect.
• Real Time: Starting on December 21, 2008, the Shuckle is first in party, with a Berry attached.
• Steps: Hm... it's hard to count steps on Gen II, you know.

Meanwhile, a second Shuckle(male, also nicknamed Sheldon) was bred in Pokémon Diamond, and has been in the party since December 18, 2008. Still, the Oran Berry is intact. The Shuckle is currently being EV trained and still has not produced Berry Juice.

Pro-mole hopes to find conclusive proof that Shuckles can, indeed, still produce Rare Candies from Generation II and onwards.

28 December, 2008: Sheldon passed to level 27 and produced Berry Juice. This seems to indicate there is a small chance that Berry converts into Berry Juice when the Pokémon levels up. The experiment will go on for Rare Candy, and then it will be repeated again for Berry Juice.

Thank you very much.
